We invest in communities of all sizes to undertake vital local and regional initiatives that will attract new investment, build long-term economic development capacity, and provide value-added services or systems for local businesses. Through the Investment Readiness Program, we invest up to $30,000 across four funding streams: project development, sector development, economic development strategies, and regional collaboration.
With funding from the Province of B.C., we support forestry-reliant communities as they adapt to changes resulting from B.C.’s new forest management system and other economic impacts to the forest sector.
