City’s Ethnocultural Support Program to now be offered annually

The City of Saint John is excited to announce that funding through the Ethnocultural Grant Program will now be offered permanently  each year following the success of a pilot project launched in 2021-2022.

• Establishing a board of directors
• Purchasing cheques and office materials
• Expenses for website creation and hosting
• Graphic design for logo production
• Support for creating a social media platform
