The Northern Capital Grants Program (NCG) has been renewed to continue for a five-year period starting October 1, 2023, and ending September 30, 2028.
The program is funded by the Northern Municipal Trust Account and delivered by the Northern Municipal Services Branch in La Ronge.
Eligible Applicants and Projects
Under this program, northern municipalities can access an allocation of funding to support eligible municipal infrastructure and capital asset projects like recreational facilities, roads, solid waste projects and water and sewer infrastructure.
The NCG expanded the number of eligible expenses, providing more access to funding for municipal infrastructure.
This includes costs associated with:
- Assets shared by municipalities, promoting regional partnerships.
- Capital works projects initiated under eligible Northern Municipal Trust Account programs, supporting essential municipal infrastructure such as landfills, water and sewer.
Funding
For approved applications, the grants may provide up to a maximum of ninety per cent (90%) of the municipality’s costs; the northern municipality must cover a minimum of ten per cent (10%) of these costs.
Please read this NCG Information Guide and this Guide to Complete a Five-Year Capital Works Plan before applying.
