The John Bragg Award empowers communities to share the stories of inspiring people who have shaped Atlantic Canadian history and society. Three organizations will receive a grant of up to $50,000 to carry out an initiative or project. This award is a pilot project of the River Philip Foundation and Canada’s National History Society.

Key Objectives: To contribute to the success of initiatives and projects that conserve and promote the history of individuals who have had a significant impact on communities in Atlantic Canada, and to inspire a new generation of Canadian leaders.

• Expand knowledge about people who have made significant contributions to Atlantic Canada throughout history.
• Increase public awareness, understanding of, and appreciation for the diverse histories of people in Atlantic Canada.
• Conserve, preserve, or protect heritage properties, cultural heritage areas, or archaeological areas or locations.
• Involve local communities in the sharing and promotion of these stories.
