Revenues from these holdings funded numerous initiatives including festival and event support, province-wide educational programs and Capital for Kids, a travel funding program that brings school and youth groups to Victoria to learn about the democratic process and the rich history of the BC Capital City. The Commission was dissolved in 2014.
