PRC Fall 2020 Program Guide

The City of Maple Ridge is doing things a little differently to help our community stay connected while we safely navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. The Neighbourhood Small Grant Program (NSG) has always been a way to connect neighbours and build community. We challenge you to use these grants to uplift community spirits and ease the impacts of social distancing by helping our neighbours strengthen connections, both in person and virtual. Small grants up to $500 are available for projects.
