Regional Steering Committees
In order to ensure that initiatives supported by the Community Matching Fund are local priorities and have regional support, Regional Steering Committees (RSCs) have been established to make funding decisions. There are five RSCs, representing the Central Coast, Comox Strathcona, Mount Waddington, the North Coast and the Queen Charlotte Islands/Haida Gwaii.
