Grants & Sponsorship
Our major sponsor is the City of Boroondara who have shown their commitment to Heritage in the municipality by the development of the Heritage Centre in which we now operate along with the Canterbury History Group. We are grateful for this support and their ongoing support through the Triennial Grant funding and other occasional/annual grants.
Societies like ours cannot operate without sponsorship.
