COMMUNITY CULTURAL ENGAGEMENT AND PLANNING GRANT

The Community Cultural Engagement and Planning Grant (CCEP) aims to support research, community engagement, cultural planning, community investment and development. Collaborative partnerships between cultural organizations and community sectors that promote cultural vitality and economic sustainability is another focus. CCEP is accessible by municipalities, First Nations, Tribal Councils, Métis Locals or Métis Regions in Saskatchewan, as well as by cultural non-profits working in partnership with at least one of these organizations, to plan for the cultural life of a community. In 2025/26, eight communities in Saskatchewan received this grant.
