Report Overview
The Municipality of Clarington supports various initiatives throughout Clarington that benefit
our residents. The 2017 Community Grant requests were considered by Council earlier this
year; one supplementary request has since been received from the AIDS Committee of
Durham Region.
1. Background
On May 2, 2017 Report CSD-004-17 2017 Community Grant Requests was approved by
Council. At that time, $57,750 was allocated to 30 community groups, leaving a balance
of $2,250 still available in the 2017 Community Grant Program.
In early May, the AIDS Committee of Durham Region submitted a supplementary grant
request.
2. Proposal
2.1 Applicant
The AIDS Committee of Durham Region (applicant 17-32) creates an inclusive
environment for a collaborative approach to education, support and outreach. They build
on the strengths and abilities of people living with HIV, AIDS and related co-infections,
those at risk and their support networks in Durham Region. They provide direct client
support, including home visits for persons living with HIV, HIV prevention and education
outreach as well as outreach specific to Hispanic and Caribbean migrant workers.
They are requesting funding to enhance and improve the accessibility of their community
outreach initiatives for migrant worker communities by connecting Spanish-speaking and
Caribbean workers employed in Clarington to local health and social services.
2.2 Comments
The Community Grant Program in Clarington ensures citizen involvement in recreational /
leisure, civic, social and community hall boards enhancing community well-being.
The supplemental application being considered today is on file with the Department and
will be made available during discussions should further details about the applicant be
required.

4. Conclusion
It is respectfully recommended that the Community Grant supplemental grant request be
considered by Council for funding through the 2017 Community Grant Program.
To streamline the Community Grant Program application process and avoid tying up
additional staff resources, staff is recommending that the 2017 Community Grant
Program be closed following today’s deliberations.
As a result, any remaining balance would remain unspent.
5. Strategic Plan Application
The recommendations contained in this report conform to the Strategic Plan.
