The BC Rural Dividend assists rural communities with a population of 25,000 or less in strengthening their community resilience, and supporting their social, cultural and economic viability. The Program is providing $25 million a year over three years, beginning in 2016, to help rural communities across British Columbia reinvigorate and diversify their local economies, making them more attractive places to live and work.
The Program aims to contribute to the overall wellness, sustainability and livability of small rural communities. It recognizes the diversity among rural B.C. communities and ensures that funded projects support the unique vision and needs of each individual community and the local citizens.
The BC Rural Dividend is currently accepting applications. The first application intake commences on April 4, 2016 with the deadline for applications being Tuesday, May 31, 2016 at 4:30 pm PDT.
