Far North First Nation communities are invited to apply to the Northern Training Partnership Fund (NTPF) - Far North Land Use Planning for assistance in acquiring skills and training related to community based land use planning in the Far North. Land use planning helps make wise decisions about conservation and resource development opportunities.
As well as building land use planning capacity within their communities, the project-based skills training program will help Far North First Nations be better prepared to benefit from future resource-related job opportunities.
The Ministry of Natural Resources is accepting applications to the fund which is part of Ontario's Jobs and Growth in Northern Ontario initiative.
Eligible participants include Far North First Nations communities or organizations who are involved or who will be involved in community based land use planning.
All proposals must involve a working relationship or agreement between the applicant and the ministry related to Far North land use planning. The proposal may also include not-for-profit organizations, trainers, and others involved in resource-related sectors in Northern Ontario, including employers.
