The 2013 Multicultural Queensland Partnerships Program grants round was announced today by the Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Multicultural Affairs Glen Elmes. Mr Gulley said funding is available for activities in four categories: multicultural festivals, cultural heritage events, strengthening capacity projects and week-long festivals. “This funding gives local organisations the chance to stage events that truly reflect their own community,” Mr Gulley said. “Locals can come together, acknowledge and celebrate their differences in their own backyard - For more stories check out www.redcliffecity.com.au Hearing Problems?
