Young people in Terrace are among those who will benefit from Community Gaming Grants for capital projects by non-profit organizations throughout the province.

Thousands of people living and working in northwestern B.C. will benefit from a regional funding agreement that will create jobs and bring much-needed infrastructure projects to support economic growth in their communities.

People in northern B.C. will have access to more services, including health-care supports and child care spaces, with an investment of more than $3 million from the Northern Healthy Communities Fund (NHCF).

The Province is providing $8 million to the City of Terrace and the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine to upgrade the Terrace landfill and regional district’s waste-management facility, increasing solid-waste capacity and helping protect the environment.   

Eleven new projects will provide increased housing, public safety and economic development opportunities for people living in northern B.C. communities experiencing rapid economic growth.

People who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in Terrace will have access to new homes before winter, as the Province starts construction on 52 units of modular housing with 24/7 support services.
