Today, the North Peace Community Foundation is pleased to formally announce $187,400 in funding to support three (3) projects in the North Peace and Northern Rockies regions through the Government of Canada’s Community Services Recovery Fund. The Community Services Recovery Fund is a one-time investment of $400 million by the Government of Canada to help community service organizations, charities, non-profits, and Indigenous governing bodies located in Canada.
The following projects are being supported in the North Peace and Northern Rockies regions:
$14,000 was invested to fund North Peace Seniors Housing Society to modernize their accounting systems;
$100,000 was invested to fund the Fort Nelson Family Development Society to improve and modernize technology to support their work to provide a high quality of services to clients, the community, and to communicate more effectively and efficiently with their primary funders;

“Community service organizations are at the heart of communities like the North Peace and Northern Rockies regions, creating a sense of belonging from coast to coast to coast. The Community Services Recovery Fund will enable organizations that serve our diverse communities to adapt and modernize their programs and services to invest in the future of their organizations, staff and volunteers. Together, we can rebuild from the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic and build a more just and equitable future for those in the North Peace and Northern Rocky regions of BC.” says Jenna Sudds, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development.
