BC Housing and local partners are acting on an independent review of the supportive housing and permanent shelter at 3030 Gordon Ave.

New affordable rental homes for people with moderate and low incomes will soon be on the way as the Province is inviting non-profits, First Nations, municipalities and other organizations to submit proposals for the Building BC: Community Housing Fund (CHF).

The Ministry of Municipal Affairs provides local governments with infrastructure funding through a variety of grant programs to help support water-related infrastructure.

People in Telkwa will be better protected against wildfires after an investment by the Province to replace a high-priority section of the village’s water system.

People in northern B.C. will benefit from stronger community services as a result of approximately $4 million from the Northern Healthy Communities Fund (NHCF).
