Seven different community groups have received the support of the City of Williams Lake to apply for provincial funding.
This comes after the provincial government announced a fully-funded program of provincial grants. This presents an opportunity for Local Governments, First Nation Communities and Non-Profits to apply for 100% funding for projects that will create immediate economic impact by creating jobs and supporting economic resilience from the impacts of COVID-19.
The seven projects total around $900,000 in grants.
