The FNQLEDC is launching a fourth edition of the Nikanewin Bursaries, which will be offered to First Nations members with a start-up business project to encourage and help them turn ideas into action! To be eligible, you must be 18 years of age or older, and live in Quebec (on or off reserve).
All business projects in the start-up phase are accepted, regardless of their nature (for-profit or not-for-profit) or sector of activity (e.g. retail, lodging, food service, etc.). However, all projects closely or remotely linked to the gambling, sex and drug industries will be refused.
Applications can be submitted from February 27 to March 31rst 2024 inclusive.

In 2023, the First Nations of Quebec and Labrador Economic Development Commission (FNQLEDC) awarded eleven (11) Nikanewin Bursaries of $2,500 in addition to one $5,000 Bursary. These grants were awarded specifically to First Nations people aged 18 and over living in Quebec (inside or outside the communities) who have a business project in mind and want to take action. Today, we present to you one of the recipients of the 2023 edition, Ms. Lily Duchesneau, and her Hutte de médecine étoilée (starry medicine hut) project.
