The Canada Cultural Spaces Fund (CCSF) has been updated, with changes to eligible projects and the current funding period.
The CCSF is currently accepting applications for projects with eligible expenses incurred between April 1, 2026, and March 31, 2028, while funding remains available.
Key changes include:
- Planning and feasibility studies are no longer accepted, including infrastructure planning and design documents, feasibility studies and facility assessments.
- Construction projects are no longer accepted, although exceptional circumstances may apply. Applicants should contact a CCSF program advisor before applying if their project involves construction.
- Funding continues to support renovations and the purchase and installation of specialized equipment for arts and heritage cultural spaces.
- Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis while funding remains available.
- The program is highly competitive, and applicants are encouraged to contact their regional CCSF advisor before submitting an application.
- Special consideration may be given to projects from rural and remote areas and Indigenous, underrepresented or equity communities and groups.
Municipalities remain eligible to apply, provided they have historically demonstrated a commitment to arts or heritage activities.
Review the updated program information and confirm your project's eligibility with a CCSF program advisor before applying.
