CanNor's investment of more than $1.4 million will support ten Indigenous-led businesses and organizations across the North to improve and expand their infrastructure, purchase equipment, and offer new services to their clients.
Building partnerships with Indigenous businesses and communities is crucial to creating more economic opportunities in the North. This includes supporting Indigenous-led projects in all three territories that are forging a path forward through creativity, new ideas and innovation.
Today, the Honourable Dan Vandal, Minister of Northern Affairs, PrairiesCan and CanNor, announced that the Government of Canada is investing more than $1.4 million in ten projects in Nunavut, the Northwest Territories and the Yukon. This funding will assist Indigenous-led businesses and organizations to build new programs, increase their efficiency by bringing services online, purchase modern equipment, and expand and upgrade their capacity and infrastructure.
Through investments like these, the Government of Canada is supporting projects that increase the participation of northern Indigenous communities and businesses in economic opportunities across the North, further strengthening the economies of all three territories.
