Grants are available for application for up to $5,000 from the Portage Community Revitalization Corporation's Revitalize Portage program. It's to support projects, programming, events, or initiatives within the city of Portage la Prairie that enhance the strength and cohesion of the community. The grants are through the province's Neighbourhoods Alive!

"We have some applications in at the moment, and we're just going through the process right now," says Community Facilitator Vienna Lopez. "The board has to meet and decide, first of all, if that's something that meets our criteria -- something that we're interested in. And if that's the case, we contact everybody and we finalize things, and go from there."

She says funding's still available and they're waiting for your applications. October 1st is the deadline.
