The government has released a list of communities getting cash for summer events and festivals under its Celebrate Ontario program which "celebrates Ontario's diversity, heritage and culture." More than $20 million was handed out.
While the Province is supporting 328 Festivals and Events, just one event in North Bay got funding.
North Bay's Summer in the Park will receive $50,000, about $2,000 less than it got last year.
By comparison, our neighbours in Sudbury got funding for 16 events, totalling $469,763.
That includes $17,500 for a poutine festival and $11,000 for their Santa Parade.
