MP Shelby Kramp-Neuman is encouraging organizations in Hastings-Lennox & Addington to submit an application to the 2022 Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Community Projects Funding Program.
This new program provides funding for community-based projects and celebrations in honour of the 70-year reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Through these initiatives, Canadians will learn about the role of the Crown in Canada, celebrate Her Majesty’s 70 years of dedicated service to Canada, and highlight Canadian achievements over the last seven decades.
The program will support projects that:
- mark the 70th anniversary of the reign of Her Majesty The Queen
- offer Canadians an opportunity to learn about our history and symbols, particularly concerning the role of the Crown in Canada
- highlight how Canada has evolved over the past 70 years under Her Majesty’s reign and look to the future of our nation
- commemorate the long-standing relationship between the Crown and Indigenous Peoples
The total amount that can be requested cannot exceed $5,000.
