The Vancouver Foundation Neighbourhood Small Grants program aims to strengthen community by providing imaginative and motivated residents some cash to connect people through cool events and improvements or developments in their respective neighbourhoods. We think Scout readers could make some pretty cool things happen – so we thought we would remind you that the deadline to apply is quickly approaching (March 31, 2013).
Grants range from $50 to $500 (with two grants of $1000 per neighbourhood). What would you like to see happen in your neighbourhood? How about a block party? Do you want a community garden? Have you ever watched an outdoor screening of Stand By Me? Ever thought that bare-ass wall with the shitty graffiti would look better with a professionally done mural? Would you like to see a colourful mosaic added to a street corner? How about a book exchange booth near a community hub? If you think it, it might come!

Saw these, too. Although, the next day they were all torn down. It seems a number of Strathconians feel this is the city offering a Red Herring in the debate as to whether or not Cottonwood gardens is cleared to make way for a new Malkin Connector. Personally, I applied for a garden grant near Union. Shame about Cottonwood, but I’d rather see the connector calm Prior.
