Applications now open for federal government environmental funding programs


OTTAWA, Feb. 1, 2018 /CNW/ - Environmental threats, such as climate change, are severely impacting our land, oceans, and communities. Investing in the protection and conservation of our natural environment helps us combat climate change, strengthen our clean-growth economy, and conserve our natural habitats for generations to come. 

Today, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Catherine McKenna, launched the annual call for proposals for seven existing environmental funding programs that will provide over $15 million to help Canada address climate change, conserve nature, and protect our fresh water.

Potential projects could include developing land-management strategies for caribou habitat, monitoring marine-mammal populations along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, supporting Indigenous engagement in the Lake Winnipeg basin, or preventing toxic and nuisance algae in Lake Erie.

Canadians across the country?from Indigenous organizations, landowners, environmental groups, nature trusts, educational institutions, provinces, community-based wildlife societies, and conservation organizations?are invited to apply.

Today's announcement will continue to contribute to many community-level projects that have positive, measureable results for the environment and for Canadians.

For more information on program criteria and on how to apply to the funding programs, please follow the links below.
