Dear MCoS Members,

We hope you are having a wonderful summer. As many of you know, Strategic Initiative and Regional Multicultural Council (only for specific organizations) funding applications are due September 15. If you are planning activities that will take place or begin before March 31, 2022, please apply in September. Microgrants and Sponsorships are accepted throughout the year.

In preparation, we are offering sessions to learn about what we are looking for in the applications. The evening session will include SaskCulture funding with Multicultural Initiatives Fund (MIF) project applications due October 17. We invite members to join us to discuss ideas, expectations, and support the preparation of successful applications.

When: September 7 and 8, 2022
There are two scheduled options to choose from:

Wednesday, September 7, 2022, 12:00 – 1:00 p.m.
Afternoon session on MCoS funding ONLY. Register Here

Thursday, September 8, 2022, 7:00 – 9:00 p.m.
Evening session on MCoS and SaskCulture funding. Register Here
*Once registered, you will receive the meeting link.

Regional Multicultural Councils (designated organizations) will have their own meeting on September 2 at 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. that will include the upcoming funding on the agenda.

We look forward to meeting with you!

Those who attended the AGM in June were able to participate in conversations that will be considered by the board as they develop the next strategic plan. We have attached the notes from the AGM as well as a document that you can use to send your thoughts (whether you were at the AGM or not). Please email these to me at mc**@mc**.ca by September 7.

Finally, a reminder that MCoS is always happy to promote your events and initiatives. Please add events to the calendar at https://mcos.ca/events/submit/ and/or contact Joshua Ravasco at ad***@mc**.ca.

Thank you,
MCoS
