Those who work in, or are looking for work in digital media and post production will benefit from a couple of new Provincial grants.

Alberta Culture and Tourism Minister Ricardo Miranda says they're worth three million dollars.

"The Interactive Digital Media Grant will be made available to companies, who's primary business is the creation of interactive digital media and gaming products. They will be able to use this grant to cover up to 35 per cent of eligible labour costs.

The second grant, the Digital Animation and Visual Effects grant, will cover will cover up to 18 per cent of eligible Alberta labour expenses.

The Province estimates the grant will attract and retain up to 80 projects in the industry.

Miranda says the grants will create more than 60 full time jobs, and allow those working in the industry to stay in Alberta versus having to leave the province to find work.
