Canada Community Revitalization Fund accepting applications

The Canada Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF) aims to help communities across Canada build and improve community infrastructure projects so they can rebound from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. With a national investment of $500 million over two years, the Fund will support not-for-profit organizations, municipalities and other community groups, as well as Indigenous communities to:

• build new community infrastructure and revitalize existing assets
• bring people back to public spaces safely as health measures ease
• create jobs and stimulate local economies
