Northern Healthy Communities Fund - Capacity Building Program

Northern Development Initiative Trust

Description

The objective of the Northern Healthy Communities Fund (NHCF) is to fund initiatives that support healthy, sustainable and resilient communities facing rapid and large-scale economic development and associated need for enhanced social service readiness. Given the immediacy of the current economic development activities, the NHCF is focusing on communities adjacent to the LNG Canada and Coastal GasLink projects. The NHCF Capacity Building Program provides grant funding to local governments and Indigenous Nations that are adjacent to the projects and not-for-profits that provide services within those communities and can be used for incremental staffing, education, outreach, public engagement, program development and delivery costs that assist those communities in delivering services in order to adjust to expected economic growth. The NHCF represents a partnership between the Province of B.C.’s Ministry of Municipal Affairs, which has laid out the objective and provided the funding to support the fund, and Northern Development, which is administering the program on behalf of the Province
