Airports, marine infrastructure, municipal infrastructure and drinking-water monitoring.
Employment, training, income support, economic and business development.
Childcare, sports and recreation.
Policing, civil security and assistance for crime victims.
Support for Inuit harvesting, wildlife conservation, environmental work and climate research.
