Role of the Department of Infrastructure in the funding ecosystem
The Department of Infrastructure is a government provider within the Government of the Northwest Territories. Its mandate covers major public infrastructure functions, including transportation systems, public buildings, property management, marine transportation, vehicle and mechanical regulation, energy-related programming, and remediation of public infrastructure.
For grant and contribution search purposes, the department is important because it does more than regulate and operate assets: it also administers funding-style support for selected community and infrastructure priorities. The clearest example visible on the site is the Community Access Program, which provides financial contributions for community access roads, trails, docks and wharves.
