Not-for-profit organizations that provide important community services like search and rescue, mobile health and child care will benefit from capital project funding to buy and upgrade community facilities, infrastructure and equipment.
In 2018-19, the Province is providing $5 million in capital project grants, including a pair in the North Okanagan.
The Arts Council of the North Okanagan will receive $85,000 to renovate the interior and create an accessible washroom.
