🏛 About the Program

The Braided Infrastructure Program (BIP), delivered by the First Peoples’ Cultural Council (FPCC), supports B.C. First Nations in developing infrastructure projects that integrate arts, culture, heritage, and language activities. This program combines the former Heritage Infrastructure Program (HIP), streamlining support for initiatives aimed at revitalizing First Nations heritage and cultural practices across British Columbia.
