Latest changes

PFP opportunity updated to new program funding call

The program page has shifted from the CMR SLOWPOKE-2 permit renewal opportunity to a generic Participant Funding Program listing with new funding terms, dates, and eligibility details.

The page no longer presents the Royal Military College of Canada SLOWPOKE-2 permit renewal opportunity; it now shows a generic Participant Funding Program listing with a different project example, Ontario Power Generation’s Western waste management facility permit renewal. The visible program terms now show a maximum of 200,000 $ and an application window from March 25 to June 16, 2026, replacing the earlier 15,000 $ SLOWPOKE-2 opportunity and its 2022 deadline. Eligibility, eligible expenses, application steps, and participation scope were substantially rewritten to reflect broader project-specific funding requests, and the contact guidance now emphasizes email and updated program links rather than the older form, mailing, and fax details.
