Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Cree Hunters Economic Security Board (CHESB)

The CHESB plays a crucial role in providing financial support to Cree hunters through various allowances and subsidies that facilitate traditional activities. The program offers a daily allowance for each day spent in the bush, up to a maximum of 240 days per year, with additional base amounts depending on family composition. Furthermore, specific grants are provided to reduce costs related to equipment, transportation to hunting territories, and the establishment and maintenance of trapping camps. These financial measures enable Cree hunters to sustain their traditional way of life while receiving appropriate economic support.
