UPDATE: this program is now closed as funds have been exhausted as of March 6, 2023. Thank you for your participation!
The Country Food Harvester Support Grant Program was introduced by the NunatuKavut Community Council (NCC) in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic. It is part of a series of urgent and short-term measures being undertaken by NCC to help ensure that members and communities have the support they need.
This phase of the program starts on February 13, 2023 and runs until funds are exhausted.
This program provides one $200 grant per eligible household for country/wild food harvesters.
This will help to cover costs of items like ammunition and fuel associated with the harvesting of country foods, birds, rabbits, trout, smelts, etc.
Please be mindful of conservation practices and only take what you need.
