The five organizations are receiving a total of nearly $1,750,000 in financial assistance from CED.
Reconciliation with Indigenous peoples is a priority for the Government of Canada. Indigenous entrepreneurs play a crucial role in Canada's economic development. In the wake of National Indigenous History Month, the Government of Canada wishes to showcase Indigenous entrepreneurs' leadership and know‑how, which are essential in building a stronger, more resilient, more inclusive economy in Canada.
That is why the Honourable Soraya Martinez Ferrada, Minister of Tourism and Minister responsible for CED, is today taking the opportunity to announce financial contributions totalling nearly $1,750,000 for five Nunavik organizations recognized in their respective communities for their potential to contribute to the regional economy.
