Revisions to the Cultural Industries Project Grant

The Cultural Industries Project Grant program (which offers support for projects creating and producing new cultural work or for assistance with operating expenses) has been rewritten to further encourage start-up companies in sound recording, magazine publishing, book publishing, and film and video production. The grant now requires that applicants must (at a minimum) have their trade name registered with Alberta Corporate Registry where in the past they have requested incorporation. This name registration is a more economical and simpler process.
