On the agenda

As the city filed it

This report recommends allocations to eleven not-for-profit organizations that have applied for funding through the Major Cultural Organizations (MCO) program administered by the Economic Development and Culture Division (EDC) for 2019. Recipient organizations deliver unique cultural programming that strengthens Toronto's economy, liveability, and international profile. These organizations have significant social and economic impact: they attract visitors, lead community initiatives and are critical elements of Toronto's position as an international cultural tourism destination.
