Kuujjuaq greenhouse project receives $1 million for food production

The Northern Village of Kuujjuaq will receive a $1-million non-repayable federal contribution for a project intended to increase local food production and preservation capacity.

Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions said the money will help build and fit out a structure connected to the community’s existing greenhouse. The project includes spaces for harvesting, processing and workshops, along with equipment for preserving food.

The October 30 announcement describes planned infrastructure; it does not say the expansion is complete. The government presented the project as a way to strengthen access to fresh food and build local skills in Nunavik.
