Please remind your school’s Parent Advisory Council (PAC) that funding is available through the Community Gaming Grant program at the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. Applications are accepted each year, between April 1 – June 30, with funding awarded in the Fall. Late applications are unlikely to be funded. Funding amounts are based on school enrolment numbers at a rate of $20 per student. Schools with fewer than 100 students will be provided with a base rate of $2,000. Funds may only be used for extracurricular activities such as grad ceremonies, grad memorabilia, club and sports team uniforms, field trips, PAC spirit or community events, books and games for non-instructional times. Details on program criteria, how to apply, using funds, and reporting requirements may be found in the 2024 PAC & DPAC Program Guidelines located on the Community Gaming Grants website.
