The federal government has allocated $186,000 in funding for the North Slave M茅tis Alliance's Guardianship Program over three years.

"The Guardianship Program aims to connect community members to the land while gathering and documenting important information about the overall health of the ecosystem in their traditional territory," reads an Aug. 16 new release by the Government of Canada.

"Indigenous and Northern communities are on the frontlines of climate change as the effects are having real impacts on their livelihoods, infrastructure, cultures and way of life," Northern Affairs Minister Dan Vandal stated. "By taking action to adapt to a changing climate, we can build resilient Northern communities and economies that are able to thrive for generations to come." 

This latest round of funding follows from $106,000 granted from 2021 to 2023.
