The Government of Canada is providing financial assistance to the Northwest Territories (NWT) at this time of critical need. The NWT has experienced the worst wildfire season on record, leading to widespread evacuations, loss of personal property, and damage to critical infrastructure. This follows severe spring flooding that the NWT experienced in 2021 and 2022 causing significant damage to public infrastructure, private residences, and small businesses. Today, the Honourable Harjit S. Sajjan, President of the King's Privy Council for Canada and Minister of Emergency Preparedness and Minister responsible for the Pacific Economic Development Agency of Canada, announced the Government of Canada is expeditiously assessing the Territory's Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements (DFAA) claim for the 2023 wildfires.
