Regional District of Central Kootenay
After a successful vote in November 2014—held in conjunction with the local election in Electoral Areas A, D and E (around Kootenay Lake)—the Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) established the RDCK Local Conservation Fund. The service has since been expanded to include electoral areas H (Slocan Valley) and F (remainder of Kootenay Lake area).
Kootenay Conservation Program (KCP) works in partnership with the RDCK to administer the Local Conservation Fund, which provides funding for projects that contribute to the conservation of our natural areas. Projects that are technically sound and effective, and provide value for money through partnerships with other funders have priority. Proponents must be a registered not-for-profit organization, First Nations, or local government.
