Deadline: 17 October 2018
Wildlife Habitat Canada (WHC) is currently accepting grant funding applications for projects that will begin in the 2019-2020 fiscal year.
Wildlife Habitat Canada invests funds from the sale of the Canadian Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp and Print (CWHS) program to fund important and relevant conservation projects all over Canada.
The WHC mandate is to support applications that:
- are relevant under the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP);
- positively impact regional and local habitats of other migratory game birds;
- consider the Newfoundland and Labrador Murre Conservation Fund.
WHC recognizes the importance of projects involving habitat conservation, restoration and enhancement for other wildlife (i.e. other than migratory game birds) and fish; however, these types of projects are not eligible for funding consideration under the Contribution Agreement between Environment and Climate Change Canada and Wildlife Habitat Canada.
