The Supply Chain Resiliency Grant (SCRG) program will invest $4 million towards projects dedicated to strengthening supply chains and helping BC's manufacturing industry economically recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Manufacturing under this program is defined as the process of converting raw materials into a finished product (through mechnical, physical or chemical means) that can be traded or sold.
Manufacturers and groups of manufacturers can apply to receive one-time, fully-funded grants for projects that:
- identify supply chain or supplier barriers
- Implement activities to increase resiliency
- Generate new economic opportunities
