In the Community
This section provides information for Peace Region residents, Indigenous Nations, communities and property owners.
The Peace Region features a strong social network of non-profit community service providers that work collaboratively to deliver programs and services to those in need. As part of the Site C project, we're working with communities to provide lasting benefits for residents of the Peace Region.
In 2016, we launched the Generate Opportunities (GO) Fund to support Peace Region non-profit organizations. The GO Fund will be distributed to organizations that provide services to vulnerable populations including children, families, and seniors.
How to apply
The GO Fund is administered by Northern Development Initiative Trust on our behalf. Applications for funding are accepted on an ongoing basis and grants are distributed on a quarterly basis while funds remain.
To apply, visit the Northern Development Initiative Trust website.
