Dear Chamber Member,
The Kensington & Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to be able to provide information on funding programs, local events and to promote their members' businesses. However, we do rely on an active Board of Directors for guidance and support. The Board consists of volunteers from diverse professional backgrounds who are elected to oversee the affairs of the KACC in accordance with its' by-laws. As a business leader in our community, we rely on your passion, knowledge, and expertise to ensure that we remain as relevant and effective as possible and you will have an impact on our business community and the role that the Chamber plays in it.

PEI Alliance for Mental Well-Being: Grant Program
The PEI Alliance for Mental Well-Being is striving to ensure all people living in PEI have an equal opportunity to achieve and maintain the best possible mental well-being throughout their lifetime.
Using the science of resiliency to guide our work, the Alliance will be investing in projects that focus on building and strengthening the resilience of individuals, families, and communities to help improve mental well-being outcomes for all Islanders.
The multi-million dollar “Improving Mental Well-Being for All: Focusing Action for Positive Change” Grant Program aims to strengthen and enhance existing initiatives, while creating new innovative and collaborative solutions.
All funded projects must focus on one or more of the three main areas known to build resilience: 1) Supporting responsive relationships 2) Strengthening core life skills, and 3) Reducing sources of toxic stress and its harmful build-up. These principles will form the basis of actions that can be undertaken by partners in a whole of PEI approach to mental well-being.
Grant applications are due February 18th, 2022.
An online grant workshop is being hosted on Thursday, December 14th at 1:00pm.
