VICTORIA – Public safety and other important municipal services will be getting a boost thanks to $38.6 million that the Province is providing to 188 of B.C.’s local governments in the latest instalment of the Strategic Community Investment Fund, Community and Rural Development Minister Ben Stewart announced today.
Since 2004, through the Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing program, 100 per cent of net traffic fine revenues have been returned to local governments. Traffic fine revenue comes from fines on violation tickets, with a municipality receiving an amount based on its contribution to total municipal policing costs.

Coldstream $25,077
Kamloops $461,456
Kelowna $581,335
Penticton $182,341
