The purpose of the Infrastructure Stream in Community Fund 1 was to assist Japanese Canadian Organizations and groups with Building Improvements (Category 1) or Capital Purchases (Category 2). Grants in this stream assisted with renovations, repairs, accessibility upgrades and/or large capital purchases for Japanese Canadian community centres and organizations. Grants for Capital Purchases could increase the capacity of the organization through the purchase of equipment or assets vital to the organization’s operations.

The Legacy Infrastructure Project fund, added in Community Fund 2, assists Japanese Canadian Organizations, providing support to key building renovation or construction projects that preserve and honour the legacy of Japanese Canadians from BC who were impacted by the historic events before, during and after WWII. This could mean key funding support for a new building, or a project that renovates an already established site. The projects will contribute to the purposes of the Community Fund – building a lasting legacy for Japanese Canadians.
