Petition seeks permanent funding for residential school support programs
Original article ↗Key figures
Between June 2021 and April 2026, just under $9.7 million from the program was awarded to recipients in the NWT such as the Łı́ı́dlı̨ı̨ Kų́ę́ First Nation, Deninu Kųę́ First Nation, Inuvialuit Regional Corporation, Tłı̨chǫ Government and NWT Métis Nation.
The federal government told Cabin Radio it had assigned $104 million in new funding earlier this year to renew the support fund for two more years.
The federal government has to respond to petitions in 45 days or, if the House of Commons isn’t sitting, it must respond on the next sitting day.
Andrew described the programs at the heart of the petition as “a very important part of reconciliation.” Paul Andrew, former chief of Tulita and a longtime CBC broadcaster until his retirement in 2012, addresses a crowd in Yellowknife on September 30, 2022.
She tabled a private member’s bill on that subject in October 2025, though private member’s bills are often unsuccessful.
