The Manitoba government has announced an extension of the application deadline for the Arts, Culture and Sport in Community Fund. Sport, Culture and Heritage Minister Obby Khan made the announcement, stating that the fund supports Manitoba’s arts, culture, and sport sectors by investing up to $100 million in local organizations to develop innovative community projects.
