Funding and Information Tools for Community Cultural Tourism

During consultations across the province into options for community cultural tourism development, MTCA staff heard concerns about the difficulties community stakeholders face locating information and tools to help with planning.

MTCA has scanned the available programs across government (at the local, provincial and federal levels) and across external sources to try and provide assistance to these community stakeholders. The attached spreadsheet documents nearly 200 funding sources and information resources that are available to communities for planning, developing and operating community cultural tourism activities.

The spreadsheet shows what kind of support is offered, the sponsoring agency and contacts, and some detail on the programs and requirements. The information provided is taken directly from information offered by the sponsoring agencies, and those sponsoring agencies should be contacted for the latest and most complete information.
