Community Facility Enhancement Program
The Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP) has been established to assist in fostering the unique characteristics of Alberta's many communities. The program is intended to reinvest revenues generated from provincial lotteries in communities, to empower local citizens, and community organizations to work together and respond to local needs. To accomplish this, the program has been designed to respond to local facility enhancement needs and to work in partnership with community groups and volunteers.
By assisting communities with construction, renovation or redevelopment of community public-use facilities the Community Facility Enhancement Program will help enhance the quality of life and citizen well-being in communities across the province.
The CFEP program is governed by the terms outlined in the Community Development Grant Regulation.
