The Local Initiatives Program or LIP was a federal program established by the Liberal government in 1971 to provide grants to a variety of community and cultural projects. The program was billed as part of the Pierre Trudeau's effort to create a "Just Society." LIP grants were intended to create jobs, especially in areas where de-industrialization had left many people unemployed.
