The Department of Environment and Local Government is accepting applications for Environmental Trust Fund projects for 2023-24.

Municipalities, community groups, First Nations, non-profit organizations and institutions furthering environmental sustainability may apply.

The 2023-24 priority action areas for the fund are: protecting the environment; increasing environmental awareness; managing waste; addressing climate change; and building sustainable communities.

Submissions will be assessed based on their merit and how they address these areas.

The application form and additional information are available on the provincial government’s website. Only online applications will be accepted, and the deadline is Nov. 30.

Last year, almost $9.1 million was awarded for 263 projects.
