It gives us great pleasure to share with you that Toronto Pearson’s Uplift Fund is now accepting applications from local organizations delivering employment-focused programs and services. As a vital economic hub, Toronto Pearson plays an important role in job creation and economic development in our communities.
This year, Toronto Pearson will award $1.75 million to support the creation of meaningful job opportunities in Etobicoke, Brampton, and Mississauga.
Applications are now being accepted for two funding streams:
- Breaking Down Barriers to Meaningful Employment
