ackground of the Fund
In 1997, as part of a resolution of legal issues surrounding the cancellation of the Kemano Completion Project in northwestern British Columbia, the government of British Columbia and Alcan Inc. each contributed $7.5 million to create the BC-Alcan Northern Development Fund. The BC-Alcan Northern Development Fund Act was passed in 1998.
Following advice from a regional advisory board, the NKDF Society was incorporated on August 18, 1999. The Minister of Jobs, Economic Recovery and Innovation appoints Board members to represent the communities of the Nechako-Kitamaat area.
