The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) is accepting applications for the Waste Reduction and Recycling Initiative.

This program provides up to $50,000 in financial assistance to NWT municipalities, Indigenous governments, Indigenous organizations, schools, non-profit organizations, businesses, and individuals to support projects that reduce waste, reuse materials and products, recycle materials (that are not already collected through an NWT recycling program), or recover a useful benefit from waste.

More details, including the Funding Guidelines, Application Form, and Project Plan & Budget Templates, can be found on ENR’s website at www.enr.gov.nt.ca/WRRI

The deadline for applications is April 4, 2022. If you have questions about the application process, please email wrri-irrd@gov.nt.ca or call (867) 767.9236 ext. 53176.
