Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Nutrition Security in Prince Edward Island, Canada
The Grants to Nutrition Security for Indigenous Youth program, funded by the Banking Institution, aims to improve nutrition security among Indigenous youth in Prince Edward Island, Canada. The program's primary focus is on making nutritious, affordable, and culturally relevant food more accessible. To achieve this goal, the program has identified key priority outcomes that will guide the funding decisions for the grants.
Improving Access to Nutritious Food
One of the primary priority outcomes for this grant program is improving access to nutritious food in Indigenous communities in Prince Edward Island. The island's rural and isolated geography can make it challenging for communities to access healthy and affordable food options. The Prince Edward Island Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, along with regional organizations such as the Indigenous People's Council, play a crucial role in supporting initiatives that address these challenges. Projects that demonstrate innovative approaches to increasing access to nutritious food, such as community gardens, traditional food harvesting, and food distribution programs, will be considered for funding.
Promoting Cultural Relevance in Nutrition Programs
Another key priority outcome is promoting cultural relevance in nutrition programs for Indigenous youth. The grant program recognizes that nutrition is not just about food security, but also about cultural identity and traditional practices. Projects that incorporate Indigenous knowledge and cultural practices into nutrition programs, such as traditional cooking classes or cultural camps, will be prioritized. The unique cultural heritage of Prince Edward Island's Indigenous communities, including the Mi'kmaq, is an essential aspect of the island's identity and will be considered in the evaluation of grant applications.
Building Community Capacity
The grant program also aims to build community capacity to address nutrition security issues in Indigenous communities. Projects that demonstrate a commitment to community engagement and capacity building, such as training programs for community members or partnerships with local organizations, will be considered for funding. The rural geography of Prince Edward Island, with its small and dispersed communities, requires innovative approaches to community capacity building.
The Banking Institution has committed nearly $4,000,000 to more than 20 organizations working to improve nutrition security in Indian Country since 2003. In 2018, the institution launched a Native American Nutrition Cohort to support this work. While the grant program is focused on Indigenous youth, the outcomes will have a broader impact on the community.
Applicants should be aware that the grant program is looking for projects that demonstrate a clear understanding of the nutrition security challenges faced by Indigenous youth in Prince Edward Island. Projects should be tailored to the specific needs and context of the island's Indigenous communities.
