Residential Neighbourhood Beautification Program
The BCI II Residential Neighbourhood Beautification Program is now complete. The Program ran from June 29, 2011 to March 8, 2013 and was piloted in the Chalmers neighbourhood. It provided small grants to homeowners and rental property owners to support visible street front exterior improvements to the appearance of housing properties in a designated area of the neighbourhood. The pilot project was delivered by the Winnipeg Housing Rehabilitation Corporation for the Province of Manitoba.
