The Department of Education, Culture and Employment, Prince of Wales Northern
Heritage Centre (PWNHC) is once again participating in the national Historic
Places Initiative. The Initiative aims to foster greater appreciation of
Canadian historic places, to develop appropriate measures to encourage their
conservation, and to promote rehabilitation and maintenance of these places
through financial incentives.

As part of the NWT Historic Places
Initiative 2005/2006, the Department is seeking proposals from communities and
cultural organizations to continue research, documentation, and conservation
activities commenced in 2004.

Only five (5) projects will receive funding
under the NWT Historic Places Initiative 2005/2006.
