At a meeting on January 29 the board of the Heritage Legacy Fund society (HLF) resolved to continue grant programs in the coming fiscal year, beginning April 1.  Maintenance of the grants programs, which over the past five years have provided $2 million in funding for over 140 projects, will continue despite the fact that the HLF last fall took over financial support of Heritage BC when the provincial government dropped out of the picture.  The grants budget will nevertheless be reduced by 40 per cent over what it has been for the first five years of the program.
