SUPPORTING LOCAL INITIATIVES
Good ideas deserve a place to start.
Neighbourhood associations, community centres, nonprofit organizations, parent councils and recreation groups contribute enormously to life in Waverley West.
Councillor Jasmine Brar's office welcomes inquiries from organizations seeking guidance on municipal funding opportunities, information about the application process, or consideration of a letter of support for a community initiative.
Our office can help point you toward the appropriate process. Funding is never guaranteed, and any formal application must follow the applicable City program's requirements.
