Community Events 

A Community Event is considered a smaller local event with the primary purpose of celebrating and connecting the local community.

These events are all about bringing people together — whether it's for fundraising, fun and entertainment, social connection, or to celebrate civic or ceremonial occasions.

These events are generally run by volunteers.

A community event can be:

  • a localised celebration
  • an event open to all NGSC residents  

Funding available

A community event can receive up to $1500 in funding
