Excerpt:
Applications for Northern Health and First Nations Health Authority Indigenous food security grants are now being accepted.
Each year, Indigenous communities in northern B.C. can benefit from six grants worth $50,000 each.
“The grant program is part of a larger effort by the provincial government and regional health authorities to strengthen food security and Indigenous food sovereignty in rural and remote communities in northern B.C.,” said Northern Health.
The year’s application intake will close on Nov. 30. The focus will be on analyzing locally led initiatives that aim to revitalize and strengthen Indigenous food ways. They must assist communities in planning, starting, running, or evaluating programs and services that support food security and Indigenous food autonomy and foster connections among people and communities.
A 2023 study by the University of Toronto found that Indigenous people, especially those in rural and remote Northern communities, face higher rates of moderate to severe food insecurity, partly due to high food costs.
