Heritage grant application and contacts updated
The Heritage Conservation and Celebration Grant application form now instructs applicants to review the policy and preview the application before submitting, and it says applications are ongoing with monthly consideration. The page also now exposes more application sections and required applicant or property details, with a new preview PDF link shown. Several heritage pages also lost visible Contact Us blocks, removing township mailing address, phone, and email details from those pages. The Scugog heritage grant materials still show the same funding terms at 50% matching support, with up to $10,000 per property on the Heritage Conservation District Grant Program and up to $5,000 for the Heritage Celebration and Conservation Grant, while the district grant application deadline remains 1 week before a regularly scheduled Heritage Advisory Committee meeting for 2025 consideration.
