Eligible communities
Nutrition North Canada provides a food subsidy in 116 isolated northern communities. There are 3 unique subsidy levels for items shipped by air for each community, and a $1.00 per kilogram subsidy for items shipped by seasonal ground transportation (winter road, sealift, or barge) for all eligible communities.
On this page
To be eligible for Nutrition North Canada, a community must:
- lack year-round surface transportation (no permanent road, rail or marine access), excluding isolation caused by freeze-up and break-up that normally lasts less than 4 weeks at a time
- meet the territorial or provincial definition of a northern community
- have an airport, post office, or grocery store
- have a year-round population according to the national census
When a community gains year-round surface transportation (permanent road, rail or marine access), it is no longer eligible for Nutrition North Canada. Since 2016, 5 communities have gained year-round surface access.

Profiles of remote communities
Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada has completed a detailed review of many remote northern communities, not only those eligible for NNC, to better understand the challenges they face in accessing perishable nutritious foods.
The community profiles below display specific information about northern communities, such as:
- community demographics
- the number of grocery stores in each community
- average period of time isolated each year
- nature and condition of surface access when it exists
- distance to supply centre by air.
This is not a list of communities eligible for NNC, but a tool to understand the different degrees of remoteness experienced by northern communities.
