“COVID-19 has had an unprecedented and devastating impact on our local festivals and events,” said Minister MacLeod. “This important investment through the new Reconnect Festival and Event Program will continue to support Ontarians as they reconnect and experience all their local communities have to offer.”

Funding may be used for eligible expenses such as programming and production, promotion, mobile applications and website development, and implementation of health and safety measures.

“I encourage the many hard working volunteers, local organizations and groups to apply for this funding,” said Jim McDonell, MPP for Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry. “I look forward to attending some of these great events which helps to make our region so special.”

The application period for the Reconnect Festival and Event Program runs from October 8 to December 1, 2020.
