What it does

The Community Initiatives program provides targeted funding to support economic development activities in communities across the Prairies. Programming in this area is often through dedicated, temporary supplementary funding from the Government of Canada or through the department's own special allocations in response to the specific challenges that affect communities in the Prairies. It also provides community funding in the Prairies to build and renew infrastructure in rural and urban municipalities across Canada, allowing them to compete in the regional, national and global economy.
