The Ontario government is providing up to $750,000 for its latest round of inclusive community grants, which opened on March 10.

Municipalities, non-profit organizations and Indigenous communities can receive no more than $60,000 for the 2023-24 year. Eligible organizations have until April 20, 2023 to submit their applications.

This year’s focus prioritizes projects that improve opportunities for community engagement and those that support older adults to age and live at home with access to care.

Since the program was created in 2020, it has given $3.7 million to 72 projects in communities across Ontario. Last year, Ajax installed electric mobility charging stations in all its publicly accessed facilities. Collingwood created an inclusive waterfront by installing a mobi-mat system to remove all barriers to the shoreline. Other projects upgraded accessible trails and built public accessible washrooms.
