The Province has announced that it will be supporting local governments throughout B.C. in order to help communities meet their individual needs.

Funding can include infrastructure projects, such as water and sewer upgrades, police resources and staffing as well as public safety programs.

“Local governments use these grants to help provide the services, programs and infrastructure that promote safety and benefit communities throughout the Province,” said Selina Robinson, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

“These types of services are a big part of what makes living in British Columbia so great, and our government is pleased to provide these resources to continue building an even better B.C.”

Prince George is set to receive $1,016,310.

This annual fund is provided through the Small Community Grant, Regional District Grant and Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing Grant programs.

Since 2009, the province has benefited from over $1.1 billion in funding for these grant programs.
