Order of the Spirit Catcher AwardThe Order of the Spirit Catcher, established in 2000 (replacing the Civic Award of Merit), is the highest honour bestowed by the City to a volunteer (youth and adult) for outstanding service to our community.

The City seeks nominations annually for the Order of the Spirit Catcher Award (19+ years of age) and the Youth Spirit Catcher Award (12–18 years of age). Individuals considered for this award must be residents of Barrie who have:

volunteered selflessly;

made a significant contribution to the lifestyle of the community;

benefited others and brought honour to the City of Barrie, through exceptional achievement.

The Order of the Spirit Catcher Award Committee selected William Dwyer for the 2018 Order of the Spirit Catcher and Jake Vaz for the 2018 Youth Spirit Catcher Award.

The recipients received the award at a Barrie Community Foundation gala in early November and Council will recognize them at a Council Meeting.

Visit barrie.ca/awards to nominate someone today. Applications are being accepted until Friday, September 20, 2019.

LGBTQIA2+ Community FundThe City of Barrie is accepting applications from community organizations for up to $7,000 in one-time funding for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, asexual or allied, two-spirited, plus (LGBTQIA2+) programs and initiatives, including Pride Celebrations

and anti-bullying programs that benefit the Barrie community. Eligible organizations are encouraged to apply for the following grant streams:

1. Investing in Community Organizations Grant – funding for existing, not-for-profit organizations dedicated to improving the lives of LGBTQIA2+ youth and families. Funding must be for either a new program or resource, or to scale an existing program to meet an identified need in the community.

2. Building Community Grant – funding for existing or new organizations who are seeking to establish or grow the LGBTQIA2+ members or services in their community. Funding must be for a campaign, program or resource to be deployed within their community. Priority will be given to those organizations

serving Indigenous/First Nations communities, New Canadians, and Youth at Risk. If the applicant organization is not a registered not-for-profit, they must apply in partnership with a registered not for profit organization. The City of Barrie encourages community partnerships for this grant program.

A jury of individuals from outside of Barrie with expertise in LGBTQIA2+ issues will be recruited to review the submissions and make recommendations on the awards. Individuals affiliated in any way with the organizations submitting proposals will be ineligible to participate on the jury.

Please visit barrie.ca/CulturalGrants for more information, including the application form and guidelines. Applications are being accepted until Friday, August 9, 2019.
