Community Partnership Program

From the outset, the DGR project has been developed in partnership with Kincardine and surrounding Bruce County municipalities. The project has enjoyed strong community support over the years. To maintain and strengthen community partnerships a DGR Community Partnership Program has been developed.

The DGR Community Partnership Program will support community initiatives in Bruce County municipalities and Aboriginal communities that focus on the following areas: Environment, Education and Community.
