[BCMA] BC Government Announces New Infrastructure Funding

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hello everyone,

Yesterday, the BC Government announced that it's investing up to $58.7
million under the Rural and Northern Communities program and up to $100.6
million under the Community, Culture, and Recreation program for
infrastructure projects. You can access their news release here
<https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2020MAH0071-001167>.

The Community, Culture, and Recreation program is open to local
governments, Indigenous communities, and not-for-profit organizations. For
not-for-profits organizations funding is available up to 65% of the
eligible project costs.

If your organization is interested in support for infrastructure projects,
we encourage you to look into these new grants. Also, please note that
Gaming Grants have just updated their Capital Projects Grants to better
support not-for-profits during the COVID crisis.
