It's anticipated that those who apply this year will learn of the status of their application by January of 2021.

However this year, the city notes that any decisions related to the granting and disbursement of funding could impacted by revenue constraints related to the impact of COVID-19 on the city's finances.

In the 2020 round of funding announced last November,  the City of Prince Rupert provided some long standing recipients with additional resources, though some others were left outside looking in for the year, with a recommendation to try again when the next intake period arrives.
