The Northwest Territories Cumulative Impact Monitoring Program (NWT CIMP) has announced a $2.2M investment into 30 environmental monitoring and research projects. The funding will be distributed to a wide range of recipients, including nine postsecondary schools: Institut national de la recherche scientifique, McGill University, Queen’s University, Simon Fraser University, the University of Alberta, the University of Calgary, the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University, and York University. Each project will receive between $70K and $100K per year over three years to address cumulative impact monitoring priorities for caribou, water, and fish and gather information for resource managers, governments, and communities. “By combining Indigenous, scientific and local knowledge, we make better decisions for our environment’s future,” said NWT Minister of Environment and Climate Change Jay Macdonald.
