Notice: This site is the previous location of the Canada Community Investment Plan (CCIP) website. The CCIP program is now complete, and the website has been shut down.

The CCIP was a demonstration program that supported 22 community projects across Canada between 1996 and 2002, which tested ways to improve local access to risk-capital for growing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The best practices and lessons learned from these 22 projects are available through key documents.

For more information on the CCIP program please contact the Small Business Policy Branch at Industry Canada at (613) 941-1939.
