Like, obviously communities, I would think the largest centres will have big demand. So, will they be able to apply later, once a community…or is there a cut-off where communities won’t be able to use the money, will we open that surplus let’s say?

I know in my experience at ITI, sometimes with the contribution funding it was allocated to...
