Funding Stacking Restrictions
Yes
The Province’s share is calculated after any third-party contributions (provincial, federal, and private funds) have been subtracted from the total eligible costs of the project. If third-party funding is available, it may be applied to the project outside the provincial cost-share portion. The Federal Gas Tax - Community Works Fund is not a third-party contribution because it is considered as the local government’s general revenue. The Community Works Fund can be counted as the applicants share toward the total project costs.
