Your Local Initialives Program
is even more local.
This year, $83
million is going to be
invested in helping
people help themselves
in their community.
If yours is a typicalicommunfty, we're
putting the "local" into the Local Initiatives
Program by setting up a ConstituencY
Advisory ,Group, or by having L.I.P. staff
consult with already established:groups.
So now you help decide which projects will
contribute most to eve y.
On the Constituency Advisory Group
will sit a good representation from the
community, including people active in
community affairs, people from local gov-
ernment and social agencies, and L.I.P.
sponsors from last year, all suggested by
Your MP.
Your project could have up to $75,000
to work with, if your idea is a highly cre-
ative and innovative one.
To qualify for L.I.P.
funds, your project must
create not less than 15
man-months of ern-
__ ployment. Workers with
the skills required for your project must be
available within your community. Project
sponsors must hire all employees through
Canada Manpower Centres.. Deadline for
applications is October 15th, 1973,
though early submissions could result in
projects starting as early as December 1st.
In northern or isolated areas, projects
could start as early as November 1st. Pro-
jetts may be funded for up to six months.
There's Do-it-Yourself Business L.I P.,
too, for companies which want to provide
facilities or services for their communities.
Projects are not to.be related to business
operations, and must create additional
jobs.
All it takes is one good idea.
