Emergency Community Support Fund

We are proud to have partnered with Community Foundations of Canada and the Government of Canada to deliver the Government of Canada’s Emergency Community Support Fund (ECSF) in Campbell River.

Our community foundation has granted the full funding available to our community through the ECSF.

In May we received $75,000 and in October a further $50,000 from the Federal Government for distribution to qualified donees in our community.
