Alliance Responds To Gaming Grant Announcements

Premier Christy Clark today released Scott Triplett’s Community Gaming Grant Review report and announced some good news for the arts community.

”We are very encouraged by Premier Clark's announcement of increases to funding and eligibility for BC Gaming Grants,” said Alliance for Arts and Culture executive director Rob Gloor in responding to today’s announcement.

“The premier has described the $135 Million grant budget as the ‘new base’, and added that stabilizing arts funding has been a priority for her government and a personal commitment since taking office as premier. There is no doubt that today's announcement will have a very positive impact in communities across BC through the work of hundreds of organizations.

“The Alliance for Arts and Culture is eager to review the fine details of the funding and associated allocations process in the context of Mr. Triplett's report. The arts community has endured tremendous funding challenges over the past three years, and we are grateful to receive some news of positive steps,” Mr. Gloor concluded.
