“Arts and culture are vital elements of any community,” said Cariboo Regional District chair Margo Wagner. “We are delighted to support the grant recipients in their efforts to build and expand the cultural life of the Cariboo.”
CCACS executive director Leah Selk said due to the current, uncertain global climate, arts and culture have demonstrated their importance more than ever.
“We are proud of our local organizations for finding creative ways to adapt and continue to provide our community with comfort and connection via the arts,” Selk said.
Grants, meanwhile, are available twice annually for non-profit organizations or community groups in Williams Lake and the Central Cariboo (CRD Areas D, E and F) to support and develop arts and culture within the region.
