11 Projects Receive Fresh Funding from Northern Healthy Communities Fund, Including 9 in Terrace

Just over $2.4 million is being provided for 11 projects through the most recent intake of the Northern Healthy Communities Fund.

Of that, roughly $2 million will go towards nine projects being undertaken by the City of Terrace.

With the funding, the City will be able to hire two new community safety officers, a new city planner, and a number of development and engineering consultants.

Those consultants will help to address housing needs and social challenges, and assist with road design and public works planning.

Another $289,000 will go towards an advertising and marketing campaign for the District of Kitimat’s business and workforce retention program.

And $51,000 goes to the Village of Telkwa to fund an increase in hours for the fire chief, and have them take on the Emergency Program Coordinator role.

All funding is administered by the Northern Development Initiative Trust, and you can find a full breakdown of the funding at this link.
