1) SPC Meeting Reminder - Mon Oct 23rd at 11:30 am
This Monday Oct 23rd from
11:30 am - 1:00 pm at Community Futures our monthly SPC meeting will be held.
The meeting will be mainly focused on creating new bylaws, for future adoption,
in accordance with the new Societies Act. If you have yet to transition, this
will be a great learning experience. There will be lunch (and coffee).
At the start of the meeting,
meet Trevor Kier, hired by the City of Williams Lake to complete an economic
assessment related to the impact of the wildfires this summer.
For the roundtable updates,
please bring a hardcopy, notes, or send an email to Jessica at

28th

3) Youth Initiative Grant applications - until Nov
17th
United Way is pleased to
announce that applications for the GenNext youth initiatives grant will be open
to young leaders this coming Monday October 2nd through to November
17th. Through both community feedback and consultation last
year, we realized the importance of funding these youth led community projects
earlier in the school year and so have bumped up the application timeline to
better align with the students’ and out of school programs’ schedules. As in
previous years, all applications must be submitted by youth for youth in
partnership with an organization with a registered charitable number (school,
service group, arts and culture group, sport association, municipal government
are some additional examples to local charities). The Partner
Organization Agreement is attached here and is also accessible through the
application portal.
New this year, the
application is now on our community application website
(eaccess.unitedwaytnc.ca). All applicants will have to email Kristi
Rintoul at Kristi@unitedwaytnc.ca
to request a user name and password in order to access the website.
Once they do have that access they will be required to submit a Progress Report
on funding received last year (if necessary) in order to submit a new
application.
I’m happy to answer any and
or all questions please feel free to give me a shout.
Thank you for all you do for
our communities!
