Northern & Remote Communities Recreation Fund (NRCRF)

The NRCRF aligns with the Truth and Reconciliation’s Calls to Action, which identifies four social development needs of Indigenous communities: improved health, education, employability, and reduced at-risk behaviour. The goal of the funding is to support Indigenous communities and organizations to utilize sport, recreation, and physical activity to address these four outcomes by developing opportunities that lead to:

● Regular and ongoing sport and recreation participation;
● Enhanced leadership opportunities in sport, through training and certification programs for activity leaders such as recreation professionals, teachers, coaches, instructors, officials and volunteers;
● Acquiring adequate equipment to enhance community programming;
● Strengthened connections in a meaningful way through positive relationship-building and interactions;
● Encouraging reflection as a guide for continuous improvement, providing relevant activities and planning that enhance a holistic sense of wellness for participants;
● Offering/adapting sport opportunities and delivery to meet the needs of various Indigenous populations; and
● Building overall community capacity through sport.
