Regions and Rurality Fund (FRR) Section 4 – Support for revitalization

This fund aims to encourage mobilization to face the particular challenges of revitalization, to support the implementation of revitalization approaches and initiatives in the territory concerned and to improve services or equipment for the population, by carrying out projects particularly on the economic, social, touristic or cultural levels.

The financial assistance granted must support structuring projects whose direct or indirect spinoffs will benefit municipalities facing specific vitalization challenges. In the MRC of Bonaventure, seven municipalities are more specifically targeted, namely those of St-Elzéar, New Carlisle, Paspébiac, Hope, Hope Town, St-Godefroi and Shigawake.

To be eligible for funding, projects must directly fall within the revitalization axes of the plan adopted by the MRC and clearly demonstrate that they respond to a particular issue or situation in terms of revitalization.

Financial assistance can reach 50% to 90% of eligible expenses, depending on the type of project and the type of promoter, for a maximum amount of $50,000.

Requests can come from the seven targeted municipalities, private and social economy enterprises, cooperatives, non-profit organizations, educational network organizations and legal persons wishing to start a business.
