Generate Opportunities (GO) Fund

The Peace Region features a strong social network of non-profit community service providers that work collaboratively to deliver programs and services to those in need. As part of the Site C project, we've worked with communities to provide lasting benefits for residents of the Peace Region.

In 2016, we launched the Generate Opportunities (GO) Fund to support Peace Region non-profit organizations. In the decade that followed, we provided over $1 million to organizations that provide services to vulnerable populations including children, families, and seniors.

The GO Fund was administered by Northern Development Initiative Trust on our behalf. With all money distributed, the GO Fund is now closed.
