Grant Processing Timelines

Whereas local governments are required to meet tight and firm deadlines for submissions to provincial and federal application-based grant programs; And whereas after submitting a grant application, local governments are left to wait indefinitely due to the absence of established timelines for grant adjudication and approvals, thereby affecting local governments ability to plan projects with certainty and financial accuracy: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM encourage the governments of British Columbia and Canada to establish and adhere to processing timelines and award decision dates for all application-based grant programs.
