2) The deadline to apply is the end of Canada Day, July 1st, 2021.
3) All applications will be carefully reviewed for event and safety criteria by the Block Watch Society of BC Grants Committee.
4) Eligible applications will be drawn at random within two weeks after the application deadline.
5) Eligible events may be held until January 3rd, 2022.
6) Successful groups will receive a Post-Event Report form to document how the money was spent as well as how the event satisfied the criteria agreed to in this form. Grants reimburse expenses that were paid out-of-pocket, so be sure to keep receipts and record safety and crime prevention details.
7) Grant cheques will be issued after the Block Watch Society of BC Grants Committee has received and reviewed your Post-Event Report.

Selection of Grant Awards:
Each application will be reviewed by a committee formed by the Block Watch Society Board. Decision of awarded grants will be based on:

• Previous awards to the same community ( a community awarded a grant in the previous year), although meeting criteria, may be selected after new groups to give all an equal chance of grants awarded.
