County to introduce arts and culture grant program
Huron County Council is still
unsure about supporting the St.
Joseph's Kingsbridge Community
project.
At council's May 16 committee of
the whole meeting, Cultural
Development Officer Rick Sickinger
outlined several possible avenues for
cultural funding that could be made
available to the project. However, he
stopped short of suggesting that the
county exempt the project from
property taxes for several years,
which was what had been requested
by organizers several months ago.
Sickinger told council that he
hopes to establish a new funding
program for tourism, arts and culture
that would be based on the Huron
Heritage Fund model. Projects and
organizations, he said, could apply
for funding and approval would be
subject to review by a committee put
in place with ultimate approval by
council. The grant program, which is
outlined in the county's Tourism,
Arts and Culture Strategy, should be
in place in 2019.
Sickinger also said that the county
would assist in marketing the centre
through the Ontario's West Coast
website and social media feeds. In
addition, the county is planning on
partnering
business centre to provide training
on multi -medium marketing.
In addition, Sickinger said he
would be working on nominating the
project for a Governor General's
History Award for Excellence in
Community Programming. Huron
County, he said, has been successful
in its two past nominations for the
award, which were the plays
with a local small Narcisse and The Great Lakes Storm
of 1913.
Huron East Deputy -Mayor Joe
Steffler, however, wasn't content
with Sickinger's recommendations,
saying that council should commit
$3,500 to the project before the new
funding model is in place next year.
Council, however, wasn't inclined
to agree and tabled the motion for
further discussion.
