Dear Campus Community Members:
We hope this email finds you well.
The Campus Capacity Development Grants Adjudication Committee is nearing the completion of its work. We received a substantial number of high quality applications from campuses throughout BC and we are excited about the dialogue and planning for action that is taking place at a provincial level.
We will be finalizing our decisions next week and we plan to send out notifications to applicants by Friday March 23rd.
Thank you for your patience during this exciting process.

Our latest issue of Visions Journal explores Income. Your economic situation may have a greater impact on your health than your social environment, physical environment, or even genetics. We also know that people dealing with mental health or substance use concerns are also over-represented among low-income British Columbians. People may be left with the fewest resources when they need them the most. In this issue of Visions, learn more about the relationship between income and its effect on our well-being.
