To be eligible, applicants must be currently employed by a municipality, regional district, or a First Nation with membership in the LGMA. Limited funding is available for each program and grants will be awarded based on financial need. Consideration will be given to the distance from the applicant’s community to the program venue, with priority given to applicants from smaller and/or rural communities. LGMA assumes that applicants will have the approval and endorsement of their organization to apply.
Selection will take place once the program registration has closed (typically one week out from the program) and LGMA will contact successful applicants only for the purpose of confirming financial assistance. To respect recipient confidentiality, LGMA will not name or publicize travel grant recipients. Grants will be made payable to the applicants’ organizations once the program is completed.
Submit your application for the travel grant.
Thank you to Lidstone & Company for providing this funding to support local government staff in accessing in-person training.
