Extension for Young Canada Works Summer Projects Applications

January 14, 2020

The Canadian Council of Archives is pleased to announce an extension to the deadline for applications to the YCW Heritage Organizations (the summer projects funding stream).

The deadline is now Wednesday, January 22, 2020, for the archival community and the library community (for libraries operating in English).

We are anticipating strong competition for this year’s YCW funding allotments. Therefore, it will be important for your application be robust. Please provide as many details as possible in your applications, explaining who, what, when, why, and how. If you have already submitted your application and you would like to make changes or improvements, please contact CCA to request that your application be unlocked.

Since the January 22, 2020 deadline is firm, we are recommending that applications be submitted as soon as possible, to avoid any last minute technical issues or questions.

For more information, and to obtain a copy of the Employer Guide, please visit our website. You will find the links for the program’s application forms on the YCW website.

Remember: You can apply for multiple summer projects.

If you have any questions concerning your application in the archival field, please contact Louise Charlebois at ycw_jct@archivescanada.ca

If you have any questions concerning your application as a library operating in English, please contact Jameyn Arboleda (ycw-cla@archivescanada.ca).
