Project proposals are accepted are accepted twice a year. There is a spring intake for summer construction projects and a fall intake for winter construction projects.
Requirements
All communities in the Northwest Territories are encouraged to apply for program funding for construction projects that meet the following community needs:

- Trails connecting to the community for walking, hiking, recreational and traditional activities (camps, archaeological sites).
- Docks and wharves to support boating and marine activities, as well as harvesting (including fishing and hunting) and recreational uses.
- Winter access to granular sources.
The program is application‐based and funding is allocated on an annual basis according to the merit of a project proposal, level of community support received, and sufficient funds remaining in budget. Project proposals must be supported by community leadership. Communities must apply each year.
The Department will evaluate proposals based on the information provided.
