Federal Gas Tax Agreement - through Municipal and Community Affairs (MACA)
| Over the next 5 years, $37.5 million will be distributed to NWT communities as part of the Gas Tax Agreement. A requirement of receiving this funding is that the communities adopt an Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP) by 2010. A community energy plan can help a community meet this requirement. The Gas Tax money can be used to create and implement a community energy plan. More info is available at GNWT Municipal and Community Affairs. |
