Canada Day grant
application forms available
OTTAWA - "Canada day is still several months away, but the ground-
work for the July 1st celebrations are underway," announced Pau! Steckle,
M.P. for Huron -Bruce, "as you know, each year the celebrations result in
an unsurpassed level of participating and outpouring of emotion from
coast to coast."
"The future of Canada is an ongoing concern for all Canadians. Canada
Day 1996 will have a much greater significance as we celebrate the 13Ist
anniversary of a united Canada."
"I look forward to the communities' involvement in ensuring a contin-
ued level of success for our national day celebrations in 1996," said Steck-
le.
"In each region of the country, grant application forms are distributed by
the provincial/territorial Canada Day committees to municipalities and or-
ganizations that received funding last year," added Steckle, "If you did not
receive any funding and would like to fill out an application form or ob-
tain further information, please contact the following address:"
Canada Day Committee for Ontario
5160 Yonge Street, Suite 500
North York ON M2N 6L9
(416) 973-1990 (Collect calls accepted)
All applications must be forwarded to the Canada Day committees and
be postmarked no later than May 17, 1996. It is important to ensure that
the provincial/territorial committees are notified of all interested groups so
that application forms may be distributed, completed and returned in ad-
vance of this date for consideration.
"I encourage everyone to get involved and plan to make Canada Day
special in our communities," concluded Steckle, "its never too early to be-
gin."
