Last Update: July 8, 2026
Latest change: The Support for Community Organizations page now emphasizes external funding links and event guidance, while the written request steps and municipal contact details were removed from the visible page content.
Support for Community Organizations updated
The Support for Community Organizations page has shifted away from municipal support-request instructions and now mainly points readers to external funding resources and newsletter sign-ups. The visible page content no longer shows the written request process, the Special Event Application Form step, or the municipal support contact details that were previously listed. The change narrows the page’s practical scope for applicants, especially for community groups looking for guidance on how to request support or host an event. The page still references community organizations and non-profits, but the application-process and contact information sections are materially reduced.
