Program Purpose
The LFIF Program aims to support locally-driven projects that include a production element and to improve community food security through the purchase and installation of infrastructure/equipment that will increase the availability and accessibility of local, nutritious, and culturally-appropriate food for equity-deserving groups, particularly Indigenous and Black communities. The Large Scale Projects component will provide non-repayable contribution funding between $150,000 and $500,000 to support projects with multiple infrastructure/equipment needs and partnerships to address community food security in a more comprehensive manner.
Program Purpose (French)

Le volet Projets à grande échelle fournira du financement sous forme de contributions non-remboursables entre 150 000 $ et 500 000 $ pour appuyer des projets ayant de multiples besoins en infrastructure/équipement et des partenariats afin d’aborder la sécurité alimentaire de manière plus globale.
