500 thousand dollars in provincial funding is on the way to help the agriculture industry in the Cariboo recover from the last two wildfire seasons.
The funding will come from the Rural Dividend Fund and will see additional agricultural courses added to the College of New Caledonia’s roster, support for agriculture related tourism, and the upgrading of the Alex Fraser Park animal housing facility.
The project will see the Fur and Feather building at the facility converted to an open-concept structure which can better support the needs of the animals during emergencies.
