Navigating BC Gaming Grants. February 15, 2024. The BC Gaming Community Grant program can often be difficult to understand and navigate – both for long-time applicants, as well as newcomers to the process. Gaming’s guidelines and priorities are unlike other funders, and can often be challenging to decipher (especially as they apply to the unique work of our sector/ arts organizations). For all those who need a “101” on successfully applying for a BC Gaming Community Grant, or those who may have encountered challenges with past/recent applications…this is the workshop for you. Mary Ann will translate what Gaming really means in their guidelines, identify ‘red flag’ language to avoid, and outline how to ensure your application speaks directly to Gaming’s funding criteria. The workshop will provide a clear road-map to creating a successful application – for both first-timers and long-time grant recipients.

The Solving-Food-Climate-Biodiversity (FCB) Research Team is currently recruiting Indigenous students who would be interested in supporting the research team for Tla’amin Nation’s Comprehensive Nations Plan Goal 19 around food security, treaty rights and governance. Interested students could take on any number of the elements of this project for their PhD, Master’s, or Honours work (we have projects which could be done at different scales of depth). Tla’amin Nation’s questions require social science and Indigenous-informed research methods, and will be a deep dive into a cross-cutting project that connects food security, climate change, community well-being, climate change. If there are Indigenous students attending or applying to UVic might be interested in taking on this project, please contact: Brian Thom (Anthropology) at [email protected] or Nicole Meier at Tla’amin Nation ([email protected]) for more information! Expression of Interest open until March 31, 2024.
