Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Workers' Safety and Compensation Commission (WSCC)

Role of WSCC in the funding ecosystem

The Workers' Safety and Compensation Commission serves the Northwest Territories and Nunavut as the public body responsible for workplace safety, workers' compensation, and prevention services. In addition to its regulatory and service functions, WSCC administers an Occupational Health and Safety Funding Program that supports external providers delivering safety training and education.

Funding focus and supported audiences

The funding program is aimed at providers of occupational health and safety services that improve workplace safety and help employers comply with legislation. The site says the program is intended to improve the availability and accessibility of OHS training and education, especially in communities outside Yellowknife and Iqaluit.

How the organization funds others

WSCC’s funding page shows a formal application process with eligibility criteria, application materials, review steps, and selection by its governance structures. It also lists funded initiatives and annual or multi-year funding amounts, demonstrating that the commission awards money to outside organizations for specific projects.

Organizational context

The broader site describes WSCC’s mandate in prevention services, incident reporting, employer services, and worker support. The funding activity is aligned with that mandate by supporting projects that strengthen occupational health and safety capacity across both territories.
