Good afternoon,

 

Last week, the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration posted the 2010
Guidelines and application forms for the Ontario Community Builders Program
on their website, www.citizenship.gov.on.ca/english/living/builders/. This
information is also attached. 

 

As many of you will know from previous years, the Ontario Community Builders
Program supports efforts to reduce barriers which prevent newcomers and
members of multicultural communities from participating in society and
contributing to their full potential. The goal is to achieve maximum and
sustainable benefits for communities and organizations. 

 

This year the Ministry has increased the maximum funding levels available to
$30,000.  In the past, many organizations in Ottawa have benefited from this
program, so I encourage you all to take time to review the guidelines and
consider submitting an application.

 

The deadline to submit an application for the 2009-2010 is 12 noon on
Friday, December 4, 2009. 

 

I strongly encourage anyone who is interested in applying to contact the
Regional Office in Ottawa to discuss their application before they begin.
The Regional Office is a wonderful resource and can provide a lot of help
during the application process. You can reach the Regional Office at
613-742-3360.

 

As always, do not hesitate to contact my office if you require any
assistance in completing your application.

 

Best of luck!
