“The Harvesters Support Grant is a new addition to the Nutrition North Canada program. It was developed in direct collaboration with Indigenous partners to increase their access to traditional foods by reducing the high costs associated with traditional hunting and harvesting. The grant supports the complete range of harvesting activities and traditions, from community decision making to ceremony and celebration of the harvest. It respects the inherent hunting and harvesting rights of Indigenous peoples in Canada. It provides $40 million over 5 years, and $8 million per year ongoing, to Indigenous governments and organizations representing eligible Nutrition North Canada communities.”

“Today, the Minister of Northern Affairs, the Honourable Daniel Vandal, Premier of the Northwest Territories, Caroline Cochrane, Member of Parliament for Northwest Territories, Michael McLeod, announced that five additional Northwest Territories communities will be eligible for the Nutrition North retail subsidy. […] The inclusion of the communities of Nahanni Butte, Tsiigehtchic, Fort McPherson, Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk supports efforts to strengthen food security, as these communities are now eligible for the retail subsidy during their seasonal periods of isolation. This will lower the cost of food during break-up and freeze-up, when food has to be flown in to the communities.”

“Keenan”Nooks” Lindell, Ujjiqsuiniq Coordinator: It’s a 8 to 10 week program where we teach kids about hunting techniques but also the values, the Inuit values behind hunting techniques in our culture. It’s a really great program. I wish it was around when I was younger. And, I believe the kids get a lot out of it. They get a lot of great life skills and mainly those values that they’ll continue to use for the rest of their lives along with the skills.”
