The Ministry has indicated that funds are available, provided the applications are submitted by July 15 . It is appropriate that this application, which meets the program' s grant criteria, be processed at this time . Report CD-30-94 - 2 - July 11, 1994 For Council' s information, I advise that funding for the program requires that the Municipality pay the grant portion (first having determined that the works have been properly completed) and then make application to the Heritage Branch of the Ministry of Culture and Communications for reimbursement .
