Canadian Heritage's celebration grants application deadline January 15, 2013
Canadian Heritage provides financial support for activities organized during the Celebrate Canada period, from June 21 to July 1. These activities celebrate National Aboriginal Day on June 21, Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day on June 24, Canadian Multiculturalism Day on June 27 and Canada Day on July 1.
In 2013, Canada continues to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the War of 1812, an important milestone in our history. As such, we encourage applicants to integrate a War of 1812 theme into their activities this year.
 


TD Financial Literacy Grant Fund deadline for applications is January 31, 2013
The TD Financial Literacy Grant Fund aims to increase accessibility to financial literacy education for people living in Canada who may normally be excluded from mainstream financial organizations, enabling them to develop skills, knowledge and confidence in financial issues.
The Fund will gather and disseminate the learnings that emerge from the best practices of projects supported through the Fund and will evaluate and communicate the impact of funded projects. It is managed by Social and Enterprise Development Innovations.

Open Solicitation: Build Regional Public Health Capacity and Awareness of Public Health Impacts Related to Climate Change - Request for Applications
The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is committed to understanding the impacts of climate change on public health, to build regional public health capacity and strengthen adaptation strategies to reduce these impacts.  As climate change is expected to have varying regional impacts across Canada there is a need to understand and address unique regional health threats associated with a changing climate.  The maximum funding available per project is $37,500* over two fiscal years ($18,750 in 2013-2014 and $18,750 in 2014-2015).
