As posted by Edwin Wand, it sounds like funding is NOT available through the Dutch Consulate for the Toronto event.
Strictly on one's own dime.

"As advised earlier, I called the Toronto Dutch consulate offering vehicles for the May 2, 2015 Toronto Dutch Victory parade, provided arrangements for transportation could be made. The consulate's two responses follow.

First message:Thank you for your email and voice message yesterday! We would be very interested, what kind of WWII vehicles do you have that could ride in our parade?

Second message:Thank you very much for your offer to participate on May 2nd. Unfortunately, our budget doesn’t allow us to have the vehicles transported to Toronto. We are sorry for this inconvenience."
