The Western Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (WOWC), in collaboration with local counties, is inviting businesses, non profits, municipalities and economic development groups to the Western Ontario Fall Funders Forum Series. These in-person events give participants a chance to meet provincial ministry representatives and learn about grants, funding programs and application timelines.
“Access to funding is essential for local growth and innovation,” said Kate Burns Gallagher, Executive Director of the Western Ontario Wardens’ Caucus. “These sessions give organizations a clear, direct look at funding opportunities available and the information they need to pursue projects that benefit their communities.”
Sessions will feature presentations from representatives from Ontario ministries, including:
- Ministry of Rural Affairs (MRA)
- Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade (MEDJCT)
- Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Gaming (MTCG)
- Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD)
- Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness (OMAFA)
- Southern Ontario Fund for Investment in Innovation (SOFII)
Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions, understand eligibility requirements, and build valuable connections with funders and regional stakeholders.
