We invite you to share your valuable insights on our CCACS Grant Program. Your feedback plays a crucial role in helping us better understand how we can leverage our strengths, address areas for improvement, and refine our approach to supporting arts and culture in our community.
Arts and culture funding is vital to the Central Cariboo, fostering creativity, connection, and a vibrant local identity. These initiatives not only enhance the quality of life for residents but also contribute to economic growth, social cohesion, and the overall well-being of our community. Your participation in this review process helps us to build on this positive impact and ensure our programs continue to enrich the lives of everyone in the Central Cariboo.
We deeply value your support and input, as your thoughts and suggestions will guide us in shaping programs that truly reflect and serve our community’s needs. Thank you for being an essential part of this effort to strengthen arts and culture in our region.
