William Prince will be performing at the Legislative Holiday Show on Friday night as part of a new program aimed to bring happiness home.
More than a third of the funds from a new grant program aimed to encourage activities at home have been claimed less than two weeks after the four-month program opening.
Many Christmas events are taking place using a $3 million grant program the Province of Manitoba announced on December 7. The Manitoba Legislative annual Holiday Show will be part of the initiative, hosting artists such as William Prince and Al Simmons alongside political figures. Royal MTC is using grant money to host ALL IS BRIGHT, a holiday celebration featuring Manitoban artists starting on Saturday night.
WINNIPEG The Manitoba government is taking steps to get people to stay at home this winter. On Thursday, Sports, Culture and Heritage Minister Cathy Cox announced the province has approved more than 50 projects through its Safe at Home Manitoba grant, an initiative to provide Manitobans with cultural, creative, artistic and fitness activities in their own homes this holiday season. Manitoba added it has approved more than $1.2 million in these grants. “We recognize that this holiday season is going to look a lot different for most us, and above all, the health and safety of Manitobans remains our first priority,” Cox said.
