Eligible communities
Nutrition North Canada provides a food subsidy in 116 isolated northern 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 four 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, five communities have gained year-round surface access.
All communities eligible for food subsidies are also eligible for subsidized country or traditional food.
Find communities eligible for subsidized food (and view subsidy rates).
Find communities with set subsidy rates for country food shipped from a registered Country food processor/distributor.
Community profiles
Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada has completed a detailed review of all isolated northern communities to better understand the challenges they face in accessing perishable nutritious foods.
The community profiles below were developed based on a common template to help examine isolation factors and inform the review of eligibility criteria. These profiles 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.
