The BC Tourism Climate Resiliency Initiative (BCTCRI) is opening up its latest intake round for its program providing micro-grant funding up to $15,000 for eligible tourism businesses that are ready to build on their sustainability or climate adaptation plan to implement a project or obtain sustainability certification.
To be eligible for the Micro-Grant Program to Support Sustainability and Climate Adaptation Plan Implementation, projects must be non-planning related, and include infrastructure enhancement, equipment purchases, or development of new systems that support previous planning processes.
An online information session about the grants will be held Monday, Dec. 16 at 10 am to help interested applications prepare for the intake that opens on Jan. 7, 2025. You can register for the session here.
BCTCRI is a provincial project that focuses on building a foundational program to support a resilient tourism sector that is prepared to adapt to climate change. Starting in the 2023/2024 fiscal year and spanning over two years, an investment of $3 million from the BC Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport (TACS) will be allocated to this initiative through the Destination Development Fund.
