The B.C. government is giving the City of Burnaby nearly $1.4 million from the provincial coffers.
"Over $1,300,000 will go a long way towards helping Burnaby provide services to residents and support high priority programs," said Burnaby North MLA Richard Lee in a press release.
The money comes from the strategic community investment fund, which is intended to help the city provide basic services. The fund also includes money from the traffic fine revenue-sharing program, which is for cities, like Burnaby, that pay for RCMP services.
The strategic community investment fund has provided B.C. communities $600 million since 2009.
