Keepers of the Circle – Strengthening Capacity Among Indigenous Women to Build Resilient Local Economies (Northwest Territories)
CanNor is investing up to $499,996 in a two-year $1.7 million project for Keepers of the Circle, in partnership with the Tahiuqtiit Women’s Society in Ulukhaktok, to develop and launch a pre-employment training and entrepreneurship program. This program will support the personal and professional development of Inuit, First Nations and Métis women outside of Yellowknife and will invite five communities: Lutselk’e, Inuvik, Hay River, Fort Simpson, and Ulukhaktok to participate. Funding for this project will also be provided by Employment and Social Development Canada.
