NCC has improved our High Efficiency Woodstove (HEWS) Program for NunatuKavut to increase access for community members — now including eligible communities in the Labrador Straits area!
There is a limited supply of woodstoves and applications will be assessed on priority levels, but this will allow more community members to access as supply allows.
- No income eligibility requirements
- New installations are now eligible, even if you do not currently have a woodstove
- Black Tickle residents who were unable to participate in the 2022 pilot project may now apply
- Applicants must be full-time residents of one of the diesel-dependent communities in NunatuKavut
High Efficiency Woodstoves represent a sustainable and culturally appropriate solution to help address heat insecurity and reduce dependence on diesel. By leveraging the success of the Black Tickle pilot project and implementing a strategic distribution plan, we aim to improve the well-being and resilience of the remaining diesel dependent communities across NunatuKavut.
Designed for efficiency, these woodstoves provide longer-lasting heat with less firewood. Stay warmer and more comfortable while burning less wood.
Please note that the deadline for all HEWS applications is June 30, 2026.
