APPLY NOW: CANADA HEALTHY COMMUNITIES INITIATIVE
February 22, 2021
The Canada Healthy Communities Initiative is providing up to $31 million in federal funding to support communities that want to adapt public spaces to respond to needs arising from Covid-19.
Organizations can apply for funding for projects that fall under three main themes:
- Creating safe and vibrant public spaces
- Projects that create or adapt existing public places such as parks, main streets, and indoor spaces that encourage safe cultural or physical activities, and local commerce.
- Improving mobility options
- Projects that permit physical distancing through permanent or temporary changes that make it easier for people to get around in their communities, whether walking, biking, accessing public and private transit, or other modes of transportation.
- Digital solutions
- Innovative digital projects that address changing community needs through the use of data and connected technologies.
Local organizations, Indigenous communities, non-profits and local governments are able to apply until March 9, 2021.
