Indigenous and Local Communities Engagement and Partnership Program

The Indigenous and Local Communities Engagement and Partnership Program (ILCEPP) is not accepting applications at this time. 

The ILCEPP provides funding to support and encourage eligible recipients to:

We fund projects that allow recipients to:

  • partner with local and regional groups to discuss marine safety and environmental protection
  • hire experts to:
    • support long-term and thoughtful discussion
    • take on greater roles as we work to design and set up ways to improve the marine transportation system and protect the environment
  • form relationships and partnerships to participate in marine safety
  • work with partners to put plans and agreements in place

This program supports long-term, ongoing engagement and discussions and partnership activities under the Oceans Protection Plan.

If you are seeking funding for short-term, one-time engagement activities such as meetings or discussion forums, consult the Community Participation Funding Program.
