Victoria – British Columbia communities are encouraged to support seniors so they can live active, socially engaged and independent lives, as $500,000 in a new round of age-friendly grants are open for application.
Local governments and First Nations communities must submit their applications for 2020 grants to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities by Friday, Jan. 17, 2020. They may apply for a grant of up to $25,000 for age-friendly assessments and action plans.
