🚨 Same grant, new name 🚨 The name for HCTF’s long-standing “Enhancement and Restoration” grant is now “𝗙𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲” to better reflect the focus of the program. The purpose, process, and eligibility for this grant program remain the same. Intake for 2024-25 is opening soon! HCTF Fish & Wildlife Grants are available to anyone (provincial or municipal governments, First Nations, academic institutions, non-government organizations, industry) for projects that: • Focus on native freshwater fish, wildlife, and their habitats; • Have the potential to achieve a significant conservation outcome; • Align with our purposes as laid out in the Wildlife Act. One of HCTF’s priorities is to support habitat enhancement and restoration, therefore projects that involve on-the-ground habitat enhancement and/or restoration activities are strongly encouraged.
