The Nunatsiavut Government announced in April about the Food Supplement program to help assist beneficiaries of the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement residing in the constituency of Canada in dealing with impacts associated with the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.
“Providing relief to Beneficiaries living outside of the Labrador Inuit Settlement Area and, in many respects, Upper Lake Melville is very challenging,” notes Nunatsiavut President Lampe. “However, we have to try and help as many Labrador Inuit who are in need no matter where they live.”
The Food Supplement Program is geared towards helping individuals and families impacted by COVID-19 and those most vulnerable to the virus. Priority will be given to seniors (60 years and older and on fixed incomes), persons with disabilities, single parents, low-income families receiving income support, living on fixed-pension incomes or employment insurance, and individuals and families who have had their employment hours cut or have been laid off because of the pandemic.
You can send completed application forms by email to COVID19@nunatsiavut.com.
Beneficiaries can also apply by calling any of the following between 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (Atlantic Standard Time);
