Cultural diversity is British Columbia's strength.
Community Partners will recognize British Columbia's diversity and use that strength to provide services and programs for families and communities. It provides funding for capital construction of widely accessible public facilities, such as community centres. It also offers non-capital grants to help make the most of the economic potential of our multicultural heritage through community gatherings, theatre and heritage publications. Community Partners grants will use a similar model to the BC 2000 CommunitySpirit grants, covering up to 50 per cent of total project costs. Provincial cost-sharing grant programs help trigger funding from other levels of government.
