Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson is welcoming over $300,000 in one-time grants to community organizations in the Northwest.
These grants will benefit people experiencing gender-based violence, Indigenous communities healing from intergenerational trauma and communities and families dealing with gun and gang violence. Donaldson wants to thank the groups for the work they do with addressing safety and crime prevention in the north.
The funding is coming through the Province’s Civil Forfeiture Crime Prevention and Remediation grant program and is part of a total of $11.8 million in grants going to support 267 community-based crime prevention and remediation projects around B.C. Organizations looking to receive funding from this grant can put in an application to do so. The call for applications for the grant comes out yearly, this year it was put out in October.
Since 2011, the Crime Prevention and Remediation grant program has provided more than $49 million to help organizations through B.C.
