The local funding, announced today by MLA Donna Barnett, is part of nearly $1 million going to 81 projects around the province.

BC’s Civil Forfeiture Office files civil court actions against property alleged to be a tool used to further unlawful activity or a proceed of it.

This round of grants includes a new funding stream focused on projects to combat bullying. In all, 16 school-led anti-bullying efforts are sharing about $200,000 of the $1 million in grants.

The projects receiving funding this year are related to combating bullying, youth crime, violence against women and family violence, human trafficking and sexual exploitation, and community crime, as well as police training and equipment.

“This $20,000 grant awarded to the Ulkatcho’ten Generations Project will provide many important services that will benefit the community, so I’m glad to see this project supported through the civil forfeiture program," said Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett.Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites
