DO ORGANIZATIONS NEED TO ATTEND THE RESIDENT INPUT MEETINGS?

ReDi Grants are intended to be flexible and incorporate community-based funding decisions.

ReDi Grants delivery within the RDCK involves more than 20 distinct community-based public processes. Organizations may be required to attend a public meeting in a particular area that they are requesting funding support from.

Meeting processes and formats vary and organizations are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the various processes and formats of meetings as they can differ.

To ensure that your group is ready for the meeting, it is important to be prepared to present your proposals and answer any questions from the committee or the public. All supporting documents submitted with the online application should be brought by the organizations to the resident input meetings.

Hybrid/Remote options are available for the following Areas:
