The Regional Community to Community (C2C) program continues to fund C2C forums and events. In addition, the program supports the advancement of First Nation/local government reconciliation and relationship building through the development of agreements (such as protocols, MOUs, and service agreements), joint plans and/or strategies and the joint review of bylaws and/or policies in order to develop recommendations for amendments or new bylaws and/or policies.
Since 1999, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Indigenous Services Canada have provided funding for the C2C program. At this time, more than 700 C2C Forums have been held in communities across the province.
