Infrastructure planning grant program

The Infrastructure Planning Grant Program supports municipalities and regional districts with grants towards projects related to developing sustainable community infrastructure.

Project intake deadlines

Intakes for the Infrastructure Planning Grant Program have been paused as the Ministry of Housing and Municipal Affairs reviews expenditures to find efficiencies and make sure spending is focused on making the biggest impact on the lives of British Columbians.
