Wyoming, ON - Beginning Monday, October 7, Lambton's Creative County Grant Program will be receiving funding applications for arts, culture and heritage initiatives occurring in Lambton County in 2025.

Organizers of new or expanding initiatives are encouraged to apply online for funding to cover up to 50 percent of project costs.
