That was a big push these last few weeks — but we need to fight the EC3 cut. All hands on deck.
Thanks to the Mayor - and all councillors who voted to reverse the proposed cuts to community Service, and community investment grant recipients. This was a very smart move, and is a great investment! Next step, no cuts to the EC3 and AGP. Thank you!

The Arts in the Peterborough / Nogojiwanong region contribute vitality to our region. There are so many reasons to support the arts! @alexbierk

If we look at the Ontario Arts Council's recent findings, for every $1 OAC invests, $25 is generated in other sources of revenue. At a local level, through local investment in the arts, similar numbers are generated.
