May 7, 2025 — Funding provided by the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) is now available to help Indigenous Peoples and the public participate in the impact assessment process for the proposed York Factory First Nation Ten Shilling Aerodrome Project, a new aerodrome along Ten Shilling Creek, approximately four kilometres south of York Factory settlement and National History Site, in northeastern Manitoba.

Funding is available for eligible individuals and groups to support their participation throughout the planning phase of the federal impact assessment process. During the current comment period, which ends on May 26, 2025, Indigenous Peoples and the public are invited to review the summary of the Initial Project Description and provide comments. IAAC will retroactively reimburse eligible participants for their participation costs in this first comment period.

Applications received by June 6, 2025, will be considered.
