Workshop for Quebec municipalities: How to complete a GCCC funding application

Trees, when planted and managed strategically, bring numerous benefits to communities, such as building climate resilience, reducing energy bills, improving air quality and supporting mental well-being. Through the GMF’s Growing Canada’s Community Canopies (GCCC) initiative, municipalities in Quebec can now access up to $10 million in funding for Tree planting and up to $175,000 for Urban forestry plans and studies funding to plant, grow and strategically manage their community canopies.

If your community is planning a tree planting or urban forest management project and need guidance on the next steps to apply for funding, join our hands-on workshop. You’ll learn how to prepare a strong application. We’ll guide you through the application process with key steps and requirements. The 2-hour workshop will include presentations, document walkthroughs and a question and answer session.  

By attending this workshop, you will:

• Learn how to complete the Tree planting or Urban forestry plans and studies funding application.
• Better understand the required information and level of detail needed for a high-quality application.  
• Be able to align your project activities, indicators and budgets with grant reporting expectations.  
• Hear about different project types, recognize common pitfalls and gain practical tips.
• Boost your confidence in completing the application.  

This workshop is for municipal staff from small and medium-sized municipalities in Quebec, who are actively preparing, or considering preparing, a Tree planting or Urban forestry plans and studies funding application.  

Join us on Wednesday, July 8, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. ET.

This workshop will be offered in French with simultaneous English interpretation.
