The federal government has renewed its funding for the Northern Isolated Community Initiatives Fund, with $15 million over three years being directed to support food security initiatives in Inuit Nunangat.
“The fund will support projects and organizations that build a local capacity, food resiliency, and culturally relevant food systems,” Northern Affairs Minister Gary Anandasangaree said.
He made the announcement Wednesday at the Qajuqturvik Community Food Centre in Iqaluit, which has been one of the recipients of the funding in the past.
