Local municipalities seeking financial aid from the Ontario Trillium Foundation for community projects may have less chance of success. The provincial go- vernment is cutting its support funding for the foundation by several million dollars. Last month provincial media reported that the Ford Progressive Conservative govern- ment is cutting its funding allocation to the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) by $15 million. There was no mention of the plan- ned funding reduction in the government’s earlier economic profile report.

Il y a peut-être moins d’argent disponible pour appuyer les festivals locaux, les programmes de loisirs ruraux et d’autres projets communautaires, en raison d’une réduction de 15 M$ du soutien financier provincial à la Fondation Trillium de l’Ontario. Le Réseau sans but lucratif de l’Ontario et d’autres organismes exhortent les électeurs à faire pression sur leurs députés provinciaux et sur le ministre du Tourisme, de la Culture et du Sport pour qu’ils renversent la décision.
