100 Mile House along with the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) have received $338,682 in combined funding as part of almost $75.2 million being invested into communities across B.C. to meet local needs including more policing, new equipment, increased community safety initiatives, infrastructure and service delivery priorities.
100 Mile House has received $242,975 in Small Community funding. The CRD has benefited from $95,707 in Regional District funding.
“Public safety funding is important to rural communities and essential in strengthening law enforcement and providing additional resources for crime prevention,” said Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett. “I am grateful that 100 Mile House will see this funding go back into our community to help support important programs and projects that will make a real difference in peoples’ lives.”
This is the second of two annual payments. A payment of $40 million was made in March 2015.
Since 2009, the Small Community, Regional District and Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing Grants have provided more than $792 million in funding to support B.C. communities enabling them to invest money in projects that are identified as priorities at the local level.
