The SIDIT Board of Directors and members from the two Regional Advisory Committees met in January 2007 to develop an initial three-year strategic plan designed to guide the Southern Interior Development initiative Trust in its first year of operations.  The Fiscal 2011- 2013 Strategic Plan represents an amended version of the original Strategic Plan as SIDIT prepares to move into its fifth year of operations.  Pursuant to the Act, the Board must approve the revised Strategic Plan before the first day of each fiscal year.  SIDIT’s 2011 fiscal year runs from April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011.  The Southern Interior Development Initiative Trust (SIDIT) Board of Directors adopted its 2011 – 2013 Strategic Plan on November 4, 2009.

SIDIT’s funding programs are specifically targeted toward investments in self sustaining projects that support the ten mandated themes as defined in legislation.  Performance measures include job creation, retention and enhancement, increased revenues, increased tax base and economic diversification to the Southern Interior area of British Columbia.  Continuing on the course set last year, the Trust will support economic development with an annual allocation of $7.5 million.
