Community Economic Diversification Initiative (CEDI)

The Community Economic Diversification Initiative is an important component of the federal Mountain Pine Beetle Program. It is a two-year federal contribution program aimed at helping to diversify the economic foundation of forest-dependent communities and contribute to their long-term stability.

Western Economic Diversification Canada will deliver the initiative on behalf of the federal government. Working with community leaders and other key stakeholders, the Department will invest in projects that support economic growth, job creation and future sustainability of communities adversely affected by the widespread beetle infestation.
