In 2017, Northern Development committed $60,032 through the Economic Diversification Infrastructure program to support the development of second year curriculum of the Applied Sustainable Ranching Program and to raise awareness of the new educational offering. The Cariboo-based program is the first of its kind in B.C. and equips students with the knowledge and experience necessary to build, grow and sustain agriculture and ranching operations.
