CleanBC Communities Fund: Second round of applications being accepted

VICTORIA–The Province is now accepting applications from local governments First Nations, Indigenous organizations, not-for-profit and for-profit organizations across B.C. for investments in clean-energy projects.

Funding for the projects will come from the Province and the Government of Canada through the CleanBC Communities Fund, which supports locally owned green infrastructure projects that help communities use clean energy and become more energy efficient. This second intake for funding applications is supported by $25.0 million in federal funding and $21.5 million in provincial funding for a combined investment of up to $47.4 million in clean infrastructure projects in the province.

“Together with B.C., we are helping communities in every corner of the province build cleaner, more resilient infrastructure that will make a real difference in people’s lives. Canada’s infrastructure plan invests in thousands of projects, creates jobs across the country and builds stronger communities.”–Catherine McKenna, federal Minister of Infrastructure and Communities

The second intake adds to the first round of funding from both federal and provincial governments of more than $63 million. The successful projects from the first round will be announced soon.
