Grant Program Background

Electoral Areas “B”, “C”, “D”, “E”, “F”, the City of Armstrong and Village of Lumby adopted Service Establishment Bylaw 2794, on January 22, 2020 to establish a service for the purpose of funding conservation efforts. A Conservation Fund is a local government service that is funded through a dedicated tax or fee, held and overseen by the local government, and earmarked for the specific purpose of undertaking projects that support environmental conservation and community sustainability.

The purpose of the North Okanagan Conservation Fund is to provide financial support for projects that contribute to the conservation of our valuable natural areas and help restore and protect a healthy environment in the conservation fund area. The intent is to provide funding for conservation projects that are not the existing responsibility of the federal, provincial or local government. The Conservation Fund allows residents to support local conservation goals and invest in protecting the environment that sustains our communities, preserves natural areas and creates a legacy for community health and sustainability.
