Community Legacy Program

communitylegacy

As part of BC Parks’ centenary celebrations, we are proud to announce the successful recipients of the Community Legacy Program. This initiative offered opportunities for registered not-for-profit societies, charities, First Nations Governments, Bands or Tribal Councils, local governments, schools, School Districts and post secondary institutions to apply for project funding of up to $20,000 to carry out improvements and enhancements to BC Parks throughout 2011. 

The application deadline was June 16th and applicants were notified on June 30th about their projects. Projects included educational facilities and signs, trail enhancements, infrastructure to support recreational activities, conservation and restoration projects, and upgrades that make Parks more accessible to a variety of users.

This program engaged British Columbians to share in the stewardship of BC Parks, and to leave lasting legacies in our cherished parks and protected areas. BC Parks is looking forward to seeing the completion of a variety of exciting community projects taking place in parks and protected areas across the province.
