Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is investing in the forestry sector’s COVID-19 economic recovery, launching a call for proposals for programs that will support the forestry sector.
The government plans to invest almost $83 million into the Investments in Forest Industry Transformation (IFIT) program to help strengthen the forestry sector by bridging the gap between new product development and commercialization. Another $13 million will go to the Indigenous Forestry Initiative (IFI) program to support Indigenous peoples’ participation in forestry opportunities including businesses, careers and governance. The three-year investments are meant to help build Canada’s bioeconomy while creating and maintaining jobs.
The application process is now open and organizations are encouraged to apply on Natural Resources Canada’s website.
