The Government of Canada recognizes the tremendous economic opportunity presented by offshore wind development.
Today, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson launched an open call for proposals for grant funding to support Indigenous and coastal communities in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador in their pursuit of opportunities related to offshore wind development. Grants will provide up to $10,000 in funding per recipient per year until March 31, 2027.
The funding will support Indigenous and coastal communities in accessing technical support to carry out engagement activities with the offshore wind energy industry, regulators and governments. These grants will support engagement on offshore wind by funding community meetings and workshops, as well as facilitating services so that communities can meaningfully engage with the offshore wind industry.
