Apply for funding to help your community stay Active, Resilient, and Connected
during COVID-19 with an ARC grant.
** NEW ** Costs of living in the NWT are very different from community to community. We have made changes to how grants are distributed so that all communities are able to provide physical activity events that are free and open to the public. This year we have increased the base amount of $850 (for community events) and $1,150 (for elder events) and will offer additional support to communities where the cost of living is higher (base on the Northwest Territories Food Price Index, found at https://www.statsnwt.ca/prices-expenditures/community-price-index/).
​
* IMPORTANT: Any use of grant funds must be in line with GNWT public health directives at the time the grant is used (for events, this means at the time of the event); please also read up-to-date guidelines for Gatherings and Events. Emerging Wisely: Path to Eased Public Health Restrictions should also be consulted.
