North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice noted of the benefit the funding will bring towards more awareness of Arts and culture in the region.
“The North Coast is home to so many vibrant communities, and we all benefit from having galleries, museums, and outdoor spaces to show off our arts, culture, history and character. These grants will benefit people in living in Prince Rupert, Haida Gwaii and the Bella Coola valley as well as help us show visitors what the North Coast is all about – and we have a lot to offer!”
