More than 20-million dollars is being invested by the Ontario government to support 328 festivals and events including the 2018 Algoma Fall Festival.
Over 24-thousand dollars is being provided to support the local five-week multi arts festival held annually in October.
The province boasts that the 328 festivals and events being supported through the Celebrate Ontario Program is the largest number in the history of the program.
However, the funding being provided for our local festival is less than the over 41-thousand dollars that was provided in 2016.
