Inuit in Canada face unique challenges, and require Inuit-specific solutions that reflect our cultural, geographic, and environmental realities.

If you are passionate about the North and are motivated to contribute to political, policy and research that will help improve the lives of Inuit in Canada, then we want to hear from you!

Desired Skills:

The TD Michaëlle Jean Bursaries were created to provide funding for training and access to mentorship for young people aged 18-30, from underserved communities, who are using the arts as a tool to improve the quality of life in their communities. Priority will be given to those who have specific action plans to share their learning and experience with others.

A maximum of 3 bursaries, ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 will be awarded each year.

The goal of the Aboriginal Training Program in Museum Practices at the Canadian Museum of Civilization Corporation is to offer First Nations, Métis, and Inuit participants professional and technical training.
