The Canada Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF) aims to help communities across Canada build and improve community infrastructure projects so they can rebound from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. With a national investment of $500 million over two years, the Fund’s purpose is to support not-for-profit organizations, municipalities and other community groups, as well as Indigenous communities:
- build new community infrastructure and revitalize existing assets
- bring people back to public spaces safely as health measures ease
- create jobs and stimulate local economies
Please find information on the CCRF which was just announced and will be administered by ACOA:
The Fund will provide support to:
- adapt community spaces and assets so that they may be used safely in accordance with local public-health guidelines
- build or improve community infrastructure to encourage Canadians to re-engage in and explore their communities and regions.
Please contact ACOA directly regarding questions related to this fund.

The first Campbell's settled here in 1776 and it is still in the Campbell family after over two hundred and thirty years. Here, L.M. Montgomery was inspired to write many of her novels and it is the setting for Anne's Lake of Shining Waters.
