The hatchery project will also be utilized as a training site for Aboriginal people with an interest in fish biology and the environment. Under the community funding component of Action 21, eligible projects must have matching funding or in-kind support from other sponsors, must respond to community needs and must demonstrate measurable environmental benefits. Funding deadlines for the program are the first of February, May and October. Funding for this program was provided for in the February 1997 federal budget and is therefore built into the existing fiscal framework. All rights reserved.
