GENERAL PROVISION GRANT REQUEST - KITCHENER-
WATERLOO YOUTH THEATRE
RECOMMENDATION:
That a general provision grant in the amount of $4,000 not be approved to the Kitchener-
Waterloo Youth Theatre.
BACKGROUND:
At their May 26, 2008 meeting, Community Services Committee considered a general provision
grant request from the Kitchener-Waterloo Youth Theatre in the amount of $4,000 to use as
seed money for a new theatre initiative to provide the theatre with the marketing/promotion
means to facilitate the growth of its youth registration. Further details regarding the grant
request are included in the attached report number CSD-08-055.
On June 9, 2008, Council approved the following resolution:
"That consideration of the following recommendation be deferred to the June 16, 2008
Community Services Committee meeting to allow for further information to be submitted
outlining the results of funding applications submitted to various municipalities:
That a general provision grant in the amount of $4,000 not be approved to the Kitchener-
Waterloo Youth Theatre."
REPORT:
The grant applicant has not yet applied to other municipalities for a grant for this program and
therefore the information requested by Community Services Committee on May 26, 2008 is not
available at this time. The Kitchener-Waterloo Youth Theatre intends to apply for a grant from
the cities of Waterloo and Cambridge in the fall of 2008, but funding results will not be available
until early 2009.
