To Submit a Proposal for Modifying Existing VMC Content

The VMC will consider reinvesting in products, every five years, at the time of their contract renewal. This investment is intended for products in which there is an interest in making minor updates to the content or the technical functionality of the production (a ceiling of $25,000, plus GST/HST, applies).

A modification proposal must be submitted to the program by email to invest.programme-ex@pch.gc.ca.

For major updates to existing productions in which the VMC has previously invested, a new proposal must be submitted for review by the VMC Editorial Board during a Call for Proposals period.
