The B.C. Government has announced support for health, mental health and social services through new projects that will be funded by the Northern Healthy Communities Fund.
The first round of funding from the Northern Healthy Communities Fund will deliver more than $2 million for 16 projects. The projects will focus on increasing access to mental health care and addictions counselling, expanding a variety of services provided by local and First nations governments, and upgrades to child care and supportive housing facilities.
The fund is a partnership between the Province and the Northern Development Initiative Trust. The trust administers the program on behalf of the province.
