Proposals from eligible applicants will be evaluated based on:

• The relative strengths in the following areas:
  • project viability (e.g., management capability, financial capacity)
  • economic benefits

To better assess your project, PrairiesCan may request additional information (as applicable).

Only applications demonstrating the highest merit and fit with BCSF objectives and priorities will be considered for funding. Many good projects may not receive support under the BCSF.
