Government Grant
Fund Type
Mental health and addictions are complex issues that impact many Canadians. The steps taken to protect Canadians from COVID-19 have brought greater focus to these issues. Innovation in the practice and knowledge regarding mental health and addictions care can benefit from a more collaborative approach by provinces and territories, and those who undertake that work should be recognized and celebrated.
Each province and territory will issue one award valued at $5,000. Applications will be accepted until April 30, 2022. Submit your nomination package by email to isabel_gauthier@gov.nt.ca.
The award will recognize and support individuals and organizations that excel in the field of mental health and addictions care. The aim of this award is to recognize achievement and innovation while encouraging others in the field. All recipients will be recognized nationally and used as examples to promote excellence and collaboration.
The award’s objective is to highlight innovation in non-governmental, private, academic sectors and Indigenous-led initiatives. It is not meant to recognize or reward programs or services that are wholly funded and run by the Government of the Northwest Territories.
