These individuals believed they had a responsiblity to educate the community about Caribbean culture because they wanted the community to know that the culture was more than just food and music. The Association was eventually renamed to The Caribbean Community Council of Calgary. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Growth\nCarifest grew year after year to become the city’s largest festival! Attendees such as the Prime Minister\, dignitaries from other countries and international artists have all travelled to take part of the festivities.Carifest effectively raised the inquisitiveness of the community with more than 20\,000 attending the Sunshine Market during Saturday’s event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe First Festival\n\nThe CanCarib acquired all the resources they needed to organize the first festival which was held at Prince’s Island Park. During that time they did not receive assistance from the City of Calgary. It was the idea of the CanCarib Board of Directors that each Caribbean island should showcase their culture — and that was how Carifest was born! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCommunity Connection\n\nCarifest became the vehicle used to begin a healthy relationship between the Caribbean community and the Calgary Police Service. A few Carifest executives were requested to provide strategies to new recruits on maintaining a healthy relationship with the Caribbean community.

SUMMARY:MZD: IN LIEU: Ben Gorodetsky & Larissa Poho
DESCRIPTION:photo Joanne Gervais\nIN LIEU: Ben Gorodetsky & Larissa Poho\nAugust 15th | 7:00 PM Mountain Time\nOn Zoom\nFree\, or Pay What You Will \nIn lieu of their cancelled dance-theatre performance Biblioteka (march 2020) at Mile Zero Dance\, Ben Gorodetsky and Larissa Poho present IN LIEU. \nFEATURING:\nDolik’s Clothes – 12 minutes\, 2020\nA video-dance-eulogy by Ben Gorodetsky.\n“My grandfather Dolik Lutsky died on April 3\, 2020. We were unable to gather for his funeral\, left to sort through our grief alone. One small relief was my grandmother mailing me a box of his clothes. Using these garments as performance artifacts I’ve created a digital video piece reimagining grieving rituals in the age of COVID. I explore the ceremony of wearing Dolik’s clothes and reactivating the narrative\, cultural\, and physical threads of his life. Soviet oral histories provide textual counterpoint to the dance video created through aerial drone photography. Country roads and lakes frame this physical score exploring grief and memory.”\nCommissioned by Dancing on the Edge Festival \nLarissa Poho plays a solo set of songs and stories from her deep well of Ukrainian folkloric tradition. \nAN IMPROVISED DUET WITH A SWAMP\nLarissa will play violin and accordion. Ben will broadcast live from the swamp near his house. A site-specific\, movement and music improvisation for a digital audience of people and a live audience of frogs.

SUMMARY:UNGANISHA: Explore. Connect. Dance. (Digital Edition)
DESCRIPTION:Woezo Africa Music & Dance Theatre will be launching an online digital edition of their February 22\, 2020 UNGANISHA: Explore. Connect. Dance. production from their website from August 16 to 31\, 2020. \nThis free digital production is meant to promote intercultural understanding by illuminating the threads of African diasporic traditions throughout Western colonial expansion and its influence on the modes of these modern dance styles: Tap\, Hip Hop\, Step\, Afro Cuban\, and Afro Caribbean. \nDuring the 45 minutes of digital experience\, each dance style will be accompanied by theatrical and visual elements that provide historical and cultural insight on the challenges and contributions of Africans in the Diaspora. \n\nThe inspiration for UNGANISHA came from Woezo’s belief in the power of art to reach people at a deep emotional level and to expand cultural and historical insight and understanding. The dance theatre production aims to spotlight the diverse stories lived and told by people of the African diaspora. \nDonations will be accepted in a Pay-What-You-May format and the proceeds will go towards the highly anticipated 2021 UNGANISHA showcase on February 27\, 2021.

Funding will focus on events\, festivals\, programs and projects delivered in innovative and creative ways that align with public health measures. \n\n“Our non-profit and community organizations deliver programs and services that enhance the quality of life of Albertans. At the height of the pandemic\, we focused grant funding on front-line organizations providing critical services to Albertans\, but now we can focus again on projects that improve and enrich our communities. We are thrilled to relaunch the Community Initiatives Program Project-Based grant to support Alberta’s non-profits in their important work to rebuild social connections in our communities and support Alberta’s economic recovery.” \nLeela Sharon Aheer\, Minister of Culture\, Multiculturalism and Status of Women\n\n\n“As a non-profit organization operating sport facilities in the City of Edmonton\, we have always valued the Community Initiatives Project-Based grant program. With relaunch\, we could apply to the program for funds to acquire disinfectant machines to improve safety conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic at all of our indoor facilities\, along with computer upgrades to handle a new reservation system.” \nAdrian Newman\, CEO\, Edmonton Soccer Association Facilities\n\n\n“This funding program has helped GlobalFest launch a number of community-based\, innovative projects over the years. We are thrilled that Alberta’s government has reintroduced this invaluable funding opportunity to support organizations throughout our province.” \nKen Goosen\, producer & CFO\, GlobalFest \n\nThe Community Initiatives Program Project-Based grant was paused in May to reallocate funds to help struggling front-line charities and non-profits maintain their core operations and provide services during the COVID-19 pandemic. \nAlberta’s Recovery Plan is a bold\, ambitious long-term strategy to build\, diversify\, and create tens of thousands of jobs now. By building schools\, roads and other core infrastructure we are benefiting our communities. By diversifying our economy and attracting investment with Canada’s most competitive tax environment\, we are putting Alberta on a path for a generation of growth. Alberta came together to save lives by flattening the curve and now we must do the same to save livelihoods\, grow and thrive. \nQuick facts\n\nAlberta has more than 26\,000 non-profit organizations.\nCommunity grants programs provide essential funding to about 800 of these organizations.\nEach year\, 1.6 million Albertans provide more than 262 million volunteer hours to support the non-profit and voluntary sector.\nNon-profit institutions contribute $5.6 billion to the economy every year.\nThe volunteer organizations and non-profits the ministry supports play a significant role in the quality of life of Albertans by helping them remain physically and mentally\n\n\n\nRelated information | Renseignements connexes (en anglais seulement)\n\nCommunity Initiatives Program (CIP) Project-Based grant\n\n\n\n\nReprise du financement des projets communautaires\nLe gouvernement de l’Alberta rouvre le volet des subventions de projets du Programme d’initiatives communautaires pour soutenir la reprise économique et créer des liens sociaux.\nLes organismes communautaires et sans but lucratif de l’Alberta ont jusqu’au 15 septembre pour présenter une demande de subvention dans le cadre du Programme d’initiatives communautaires\, qui vise à favoriser la santé et le dynamisme des communautés de l’Alberta. Le financement sera axé sur les événements\, les festivals\, les programmes et les projets mis en œuvre de façon novatrice et créative\, en harmonie avec les mesures de santé publique en vigueur. \n\n« Nos organismes communautaires et sans but lucratif offrent des programmes et des services qui améliorent la qualité de vie des Albertains et des Albertaines. Au plus fort de la pandémie\, nous avons concentré le financement des subventions à l’intention des organismes de première ligne qui fournissent des services essentiels à la population albertaine\, mais nous pouvons maintenant recommencer à financer des projets qui améliorent et enrichissent nos communautés. Nous sommes ravis de soutenir la reprise économique de notre province en relançant le volet des subventions de projets du Programme d’initiatives communautaires afin de soutenir les organismes sans but lucratif de l’Alberta dans leur important travail qui consiste à stimuler la création de liens sociaux au sein de nos communautés. » \nLeela Sharon Aheer\, ministre de la Culture\, du Multiculturalisme et de la Condition féminine\n\n\n« En tant qu’organisme sans but lucratif qui exploite des installations sportives dans la ville d’Edmonton\, nous avons toujours apprécié les subventions de projets du Programme d’initiatives communautaires. Grâce à la relance\, nous avons pu demander des fonds pour acquérir des machines de désinfection qui amélioreront les conditions de sécurité causées par la pandémie de COVID-19 dans toutes nos installations intérieures. Nous pourrons aussi procéder à la mise à niveau de notre matériel informatique\, ce qui nous aidera à gérer un nouveau système de réservation. » \nAdrian Newman\, directeur général\, Edmonton Soccer Association Facilities\n\n\n« Ce programme de financement a aidé GlobalFest à lancer des projets communautaires novateurs au fil des ans. Nous sommes ravis que le gouvernement de l’Alberta ait remis en œuvre cette précieuse possibilité de financement qui soutient les organismes de toute la province.» \nKen Goosen\, producteur et directeur financier\, GlobalFest  \n\nLa subvention de projets du Programme d’initiatives communautaires a été interrompue en mai dernier afin de réaffecter les fonds pour aider les organismes de bienfaisance et sans but lucratif de première ligne en difficulté à maintenir leurs activités de base et à fournir des services pendant la pandémie de COVID-19. \nLe plan de relance de l’Alberta est une stratégie à long terme audacieuse et ambitieuse qui vise à créer\, à diversifier et à consolider des dizaines de milliers d’emplois\, dès aujourd’hui.

SUMMARY:GWDC: Season Launch (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Ainsley Hillyard\, Alison Kause\, Alida Kendell\, and Kate Stashko of Good Women Dance Collective (GWDC) invite you to celebrate the launch of their most memorable season yet!  \n\n\n  \n\n\nContemporary dancer and co-founder of Montreal’s Wants&Needs Danse\, Sasha Kleinplatz\, will be joining GWDC’s 2020/21 season for Convergence 2021—the collective’s annual show that highlights various works from different artists including Dustin Stamp\, a fancy dancer from Saddle Lake Cree Nation\, and guests; and a collaboration between GWDC and poet and spoken word artist\, Brandon Wint.  \n\n\n  \n\n\nSeason 2020/21 also features an exciting collaboration between FEMME\, an all-female vocal quartet\, and GWDC in which they reflect upon domestic abuse during the world premiere of The Beginning of Happiness by Edmonton composer\, Jane Berry\, choreographed by GWDC\, and performed by FEMME and GWDC. While the composition draws on Berry’s experience with domestic violence\, the work encourages performers to bring their own thoughts into the work so that their own personal experiences are included in the show. \n\n\n  \n\n\n“In these uncertain times\, GWDC is excited to continue supporting the creation of new work by courageous and curious artists from across Canada. We are all learning quickly and becoming more adaptable and agile—pivoting has multiple meanings for dance in the 2020/21 season and we are excited by the transformative possibilities that can arise out of uncertainty.”   \n\n\n  \n\n\nIn between each production\, Canadian artists Anastassiia La Musa\, Lebogang Disele\, Krista Lin\, Erin Pettifor\, Nina Milanovski\, and Larissa Pohoreski will be completing residencies at GWDC’s new space located within the Shumka Dance Centre\, just a six-minute walk from their previous studio at The Ruth Carse Centre for Dance.  \n\n\n  \n\n\nGWDC will be kicking off Season 2020/21 with a virtual celebration on September 15th from 7 to 8 pm via Facebook live. The night will feature interviews and brief performances by Lebogang Disele\, Deviani Bonilla\, Phany Peeña\, Larissa Pohoreski\, Jane Berry\, Brandon Wint\, Erin Pettifor\, and Nina Milanovski\, as well as a DJ dance party. All are invited to attend.

SUMMARY:ECF Funding: Young Edmonton Grants
DESCRIPTION:Edmonton Community Foundation’s (ECF) Young Edmonton Grants (YEG) program provides local youth with funding to turn their ideas into reality. \nTHE YEG PROGRAM GIVES FUNDING for projects initiated\, led\, and organized by young Edmonton and area residents. These grants range from $500-$3\,000 and are available for residents between the ages of 13 and 24. \nIn 2016\, Todd Houseman and Ben Gorodetsky received $2\,950 from ECF to produce an Indigenous storytelling event called Stories on the Hills. The event took place at Fort Edmonton Park and featured Ben and Todd’s improv troupe Folk Lordz. They also featured other respected Indigenous storytellers\, including Elder Jerry Saddleback and Grand Chief Tony Alexis. This event had musical entertainment by Quantum Tangle and visual storytelling through painting and poetry by Lana Whiskeyjack. You can read all about Ben and Todd’s project here. \nStories on the Hills is just one example of the dozens of youth-led projects funded by ECF’s YEG program. If you have an idea or project\, we encourage you to apply! \nThe key to a successful application is “initiated and organized” by young Edmonton and area residents. This granting program is not intended to support charities or agencies that provide programming or services for youth. Instead\, it is intended to support young residents who create their own projects or initiatives. \nApplication deadlines are three times a year\, February 15 for funding after April 1\, May 15 for funding after July 1\, and October 15 for funding after December 1. Applications will be available one month before the deadline. Applicants need to partner with their school or a registered charity to support their applications. Funds\, if awarded\, will be sent to the partner charity or school. For more information on the roles and responsibilities of applicants\, partner charities and ECF within this program\, click here. \nAfter the deadline has passed and we have confirmation from your partner charity or school\, applications are reviewed by a committee of young Edmonton and area residents that recommend projects for funding. \nSome things to consider when applying: \n\nApplicants must register and activate an account to access the online application.\nApplications must be submitted before the 11:59 p.m. deadline.\nAll applications must address the information requested in the application form.\nMost kinds of activities can be funded\, as long as they are “initiated and organized” by young Edmonton and area residents (13 to 24 years).\nFunding will NOT be awarded for any projects\, programs\, or initiatives that:\n\ninvolve direct religious activity;\ninvolve partisan political activity;\nbenefit an individual (such as a scholarship);\nhave already occurred; or\ninvolve funds requested being redirected to activities beyond the Edmonton area (e.g. disaster relief in another country).\n\n\nTo receive funding\, applicants must partner with a registered Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) charity (includes schools). Partner charities will be required to complete an online form\, automatically sent through the online application\, supporting the applicant’s project.\nThe partner charity must be aware of the application. For junior and senior high school students\, Edmonton Public or Catholic Schools may be willing to accept grants. A representative (Executive Director or Principal) from your partner charity must complete an online form.\nFor post-secondary institutions\, a director of student services may be the appropriate representative.\nThis is a one-time grant. Multi-year requests will not be considered.\nIt is anticipated that the number of applications will be greater than the funds that are available to disburse. Not all applications will be approved.\nAt the conclusion of the project or activity\, we expect a brief update about the initiative. This informal reporting may include:\n\na brief description of the activities;\nphotos or videos;\nnotable successes or lessons learned; and\nplans for follow-up activities (if any).\n\n\n\nAll approved grants – including the names of the charities and the names of the projects involved — will be listed in Edmonton Community Foundation’s publications (such as Legacy in Action magazine\, website\, podcast and newsletters). \nPlease note: Applications for the October 15th deadline will open by August 15th. Thanks for your patience. \nApply for a Young Edmonton Grant\n  \nGrant Application FAQ

SUMMARY:Equity & Access in the Arts (EAC Grant)
DESCRIPTION:While artists may apply to any Edmonton Arts Council program\, many face systemic\, historical\, cultural and/or language barriers to accessing support. The Equity & Access in the Arts program is designed to invest in a thriving and diverse arts community by supporting Edmonton-based artists and collectives from communities that face barriers to access. This includes\, but is not limited to\, groups whose members are treated differently because of systemic barriers that disadvantage people based on their Indigenous heritage\, the colour of their skin\, their disabilities\, sexual orientation and identity and/or immigration status. \nThis program is one way the Edmonton Arts Council pursues our commitments in Connections & Exchanges: A 10-Year Plan To Transform Arts & Heritage In Edmonton. This program replaces and expands on the previous Cultural Diversity in the Arts programs that had been in place since 2008. \nEquity in the Arts grants for Individuals and Collectives has three distinct streams\, each with its own evaluation criteria and assessment process: \n\nStream 1: Exploration and Experimentation: To support an artist to work on current solo creation\, experimentation or research activities. Grant amounts are fixed at $5\,000 to support subsistence while the artist takes the time to work.\nStream 2: Skills and Career Development: To support professional development and mentorship-based projects for artists and arts professionals. Projects may be solo or collective\, and grants are available up to $10\,000 based on actual or projected project expenses\, including artist subsistence.\nStream 3: Major Artist-driven Projects: To support artist-initiated projects\, including production/presentation that is clearly considered in light of public health advice and restrictions. Projects may be solo or collective\, and grants will be available up to $25\,000 based on projected project expenses\, including artist subsistence.\n\nDeadline: ​October 15\, 2020 at 11:59 PM MDT \n>> Click here for the guidelines. \n>> You can read more about this new program on the YEGArts Blog.
