The Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund was introduced as part of the Economic Action Plan 2012. The fund will provide $150 million over a two year period to community infrastructure improvement projects across the country. CanNor will be delivering the program in Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and the Yukon, where $6.4 million has been allocated. 

Projects are required to meet a set of eligibility criteria, and may be eligible for up to $1 million in funding. Connectivity and Broadband projects are considered to be eligible infrastructure under the Fund’s guidelines.
