Over $2.2M for eight tourism projects to strengthen infrastructure, marketing, and services to attract Canadians and visitors to the territories
In response to tariff-related uncertainty, more Canadians are looking for ways to celebrate this country's diverse landscapes and experiences. Ahead of Canada Day, the Government of Canada is supporting tourism organizations across the territories to expand operations and reach new markets, bringing more economic opportunities to northern businesses and communities.
Today, the Honourable Rebecca Chartrand, Minister of Northern and Arctic Affairs and Minister responsible for CanNor, announced a contribution of $2,209,505 to support eight tourism projects across Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and the Yukon. Delivered through CanNor, this funding will support tourism infrastructure, promote the North, and establish new tourism destinations while helping businesses expand and innovate.
A vibrant tourism sector nurtures Canadian pride and highlights Canada on a global scale. By investing in projects like these, CanNor delivers on its priorities to increase Indigenous economic participation, enhance northern supply chains, and support a diverse and sustainable northern economy.
