Inuit Child First Initiative extended to 2026, but city’s agreement with federal government expires at end of March
Now that the Inuit Child First Initiative has been extended, the City of Iqaluit is asking the public to be patient as it figures out what’s next for its food voucher program.
The city has provided food vouchers since November to families with Inuit children using funding from the initiative.
Eligible families with children under the age of 18 can receive $500 per child monthly to spend on food. Families with children under four years of age can receive an additional $250 per child for items like diapers, wipes and baby formula.
