During the Food Sovereignty Summit in Ottawa, the Honourable Rebecca Chartrand, Minister of Northern and Arctic Affairs and Minister responsible for CanNor, announced a contribution of up to $1,753,799 to improve food security in the Northwest Territories. The funds will support five projects that empower communities with the infrastructure and tools they need to grow, process, and prepare local foods. This funding, delivered by CanNor, will create new opportunities for growers, harvesters, businesses, and other professionals in the food sector while increasing access to fresh, locally produced foods.
