Create Places Grant 2024
Is there a place in your neighbourhood that could use a touch of creativity to lift people’s spirits and encourage them to linger, enjoy and connect with each other?
Since 2021 Colwood Council has set aside $5000 for small grants that help residents make a big difference through creative placemaking projects. It's all about reimagining public spaces in unexpected ways and bringing neighbours together through art, gardens, gathering areas, or other initiatives.
Have a project idea you want to discuss? Get in touch with us and we'll see how we can work together to achieve it!

Get in touch + submit applications to srussell@colwood.ca. The 2024 submission period ends November 30th.
Get your ideas flowing...
Is there somewhere you'd like to park your bike and add a little fun? Could you add a touch of creativity with a design for a blank utility box near you? Got an idea for creative crosswalk design in your neighbourhood? Where could a few simple words or colours on the sidewalk spark joy or brighten someone's day? Is there a special place you'd like people to know the history or ecology of through an artful interpretive sign?
