Grant-in-Aid Programs

The Fraser Valley Regional District's Grant-in-Aid programs support cultural, environmental, charitable, and recreational service activities as well as special events that benefit the community.

Chilliwack River Valley Grant-in-Aid

The provincial government has provided the FVRD with a one-time grant of $200,000. The money is designated for the costs associated with the Chilliwack River Valley cleanup of abandoned encampments, including tipping fees for refuse, removal of destroyed vehicles, or rental of containers to remove debris.

To apply, please submit a completed Electoral Area Grant-in-Aid application form to info.finance@fvrd.ca.
