Health Facilities Program | Indigenous Services Canada:

Description

Through this program, Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) works with First Nations and Inuit communities to provide funding for infrastructure that supports the delivery of health-related programs and services.

The program supports:

• Facilities operations and maintenance: this includes funding for the ongoing operations and maintenance activities at health facilities, such as rent, utility charges, cleaning and custodial charges, routine maintenance and minor repairs.
• Minor capital projects: minor repairs and renovations to health infrastructure that cannot be addressed through existing operations and maintenance budgets, and do not meet the definition of a major capital project as they are generally considered less complex.
• Major capital projects: more complex capital planning, design, and construction undertakings to build new, expand or otherwise significantly renovate and repair health facilities. Generally, this includes capital projects where the total project costs $1 million or more, funding is required over more than 1 year or the development of architectural design works is anticipated.
