Royal Roads to boost local economic growth with PacifiCan investment

Royal Roads University has received $677K from PacifiCan’s Community Economic Development and Diversification program to boost local economic growth. Royal Roads will use the funds to introduce targeted initiatives that strengthen municipal and First Nations economic development partnerships in the Westshore region of Southern Vancouver Island. “The funding will help Royal Roads expand community learning partnerships, deepening engagement with existing community partners, while extending outreach to new communities within this burgeoning region,” said Royal Roads President Dr Philip Steenkamp. This grant is part of a broader $6.4M investment from the Government of Canada to promote business growth in British Columbia.
