The Reconnect Festival and Event Program offers non-capital funding to in-person and online events in Ontario that:

• provide experiences that encourage people to travel locally and rediscover the beauty and diversity of their community
• draw attendees and provide positive economic impact for the local community, the region and the province
• create job opportunities for Ontarians, particularly in the tourism, culture and entertainment sectors
• increase Ontario’s profile through media and/or broadcast exposure to generate interest in future travel to the province once it is safe to do so again
