The Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) is now taking applications for the Columbia Basin Trust Community Initiatives and Affected Areas Programs.
In the East Kootenay, the Community Initiatives Program funds projects that are identified as priorities within the communities and rural areas of the Regional District of East Kootenay.
The Affected Areas Program is designed to put funds back into the Basin for those communities most affected by dam construction under the Columbia River Treaty. In the East Kootenay, the Program funds projects that meet priorities in communities which lie within 10 km of Lake Koocanusa and include the following:
- Electoral Area B: Jaffray, Galloway, Elko, Baynes Lake, Grasmere, and Newgate
- Portion of Electoral Area C: Wardner, Mayook and Bull River
Proposals are accepted once per year and must be submitted through the Trust’s online application system. You are encouraged to carefully read through the 2022 Application Guide for application information and instructions.
