14 Northern municipalities are among 55 benefiting from a fresh funding injection through the province’s grants-in-lieu program.
Each November the funds are distributed in lieu of municipal property taxes, in return for the services they provide to support local provincial infrastructure.
Funding covers services such as sewage, fire protection, and maintenance of provincially owned land and property.
Terrace, Smithers, Fort St John, and Dawson Creek will all receive between $150,000 and $180,000, while Prince Rupert gets just under $45,000.
Prince George will take home just over $2 million, while several other communities will get between $2,000 and $10,000.
