View change
SDG Regional Tourism Grant intake timing updated
The SDG Regional Tourism Grant page now directs applicants to check back in fall 2026 for the next intake instead of February 2027. The page also no longer shows the prior 2026 intake dates or project period, so the intake timing presented to applicants has changed. Application instructions were also revised: the page now refers to completing the online application without the previous “application form” heading. The listed documents or steps to apply may therefore be presented differently on the source page.
