The Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development has allocated $250,000 towards a one-time funding opportunity to encourage community events that strengthen volunteer capacity for event hosting throughout the province.

Eligible non-profit organizations are invited to apply for up to $5,000. Grants will be awarded on a first-come, first served basis and distributed throughout B.C.'s six tourism regions.

This initiative will provide a stimulus for new events and will assist existing events that are currently ineligible for other provincial government funding.

The Technology@Work Program is designed to support employment for people with disabilities in all regions of British Columbia who require Assistive Technology to overcome disability-related barriers in the workplace.

This program will help individuals who are already employed, self-employed, or volunteering, as well as those who are about to start a new work or volunteer opportunity.

When Assistive Technology is the sole barrier to employment or volunteerism, Technology@Work will help determine and acquire the Assistive Technology that will meet the needs of the individual, the employer, and the work situation. 

Do you currently have an employee or volunteer that would benefit from this program?
