The McClean Lake participant funding content now reflects a final decision rather than an open application opportunity: the page says the funding is no longer available because it has been awarded, and the old application deadline and submission instructions are no longer shown. The funding information has also changed from the earlier general offer of up to 75,000 $ to a final approved allocation of 62,703.75 $, with amounts listed for individual applicants; the supporting program content now shows a broader PFP process page with updated eligibility, eligible expenses, and application steps, plus a new date context for September 2026 and a permit renewal period ending June 30, 2029.
