Canada Healthy Communities Initiative
This initiative will provide up to $31 million in existing federal funding to support communities as they deploy innovative new ways to adapt spaces and services to respond to immediate and ongoing needs arising from COVID-19 over the next two years. The initiative will support projects under three main themes:
- Creating safe and vibrant public spaces
- Improving mobility options
- Digital solutions
Funding for the Initiative is being repurposed from existing funding for a second Smart Cities Challenge competition to support communities in dealing with the immediate and ongoing challenges posed by COVID-19. Additional details on the application process will be available soon. For questions about the Initiative, please contact the Canada Healthy Communities Initiative team at: infc.chci-iccs.infc@canada.ca.
Local Food Infrastructure Fund
Applications for phase 2 of the program is now open.
The Local Food Infrastructure Fund (LFIF) is a five-year, $50 million initiative ending March 31, 2024. The program is part of the Government of Canada’s Food Policy which is Canada’s roadmap for a healthier and more sustainable food system in Canada. The LFIF objective is to strengthen food systems and to facilitate access to safe and nutritious food for at-risk populations.
The fund supports community-based, not-for-profit organizations to improve their food systems through investments in infrastructure that are directly related to addressing food insecurities and increasing the accessibility of healthy, nutritious, and ideally, local foods within their community.
