The Cultural Industries Project Grant program (which offers support for projects creating and producing new cultural work or for assistance with operating expenses) has been rewritten to further encourage start-up companies in sound recording, magazine publishing, book publishing, and film and video production. The grant now requires that applicants must (at a minimum) have their trade name registered with Alberta Corporate Registry where in the past they have requested incorporation. This name registration is a more economical and simpler process.
