Participant Funding Program

The Participant Funding Program (PFP) for offshore wind Call for Information NS25-1R provides limited financial assistance to Indigenous groups and rights holders, the fishing sector, the public, and other stakeholders to support participation in the Call for Information process.

The CNSOER recognizes and understands the importance of engaging with Indigenous communities, the fishing sector, the public, and other stakeholders as we believe each group has specific and unique insights that should be taken into consideration prior to making decisions. This allows us to gain a better understanding of the perspectives and concerns of the many communities, businesses, and organizations throughout Nova Scotia and Canada and helps us make informed decisions.

The CNSOER is actively preparing a PFP for some of its regulatory processes. As this larger PFP is developed, the CNSOER recognizes it is important to offer an introductory PFP for the offshore wind Call for Information NS25-1R process.
