Project Fund Oversight Committee
The Project Fund was established with the intent to support projects and initiatives from the working committees’ work plans that do have access to other funding. The committee meets at least twice per year to review project proposals, make recommendations to the Officials Committee, and respond. Its membership includes all three (3) liaisons, a representative from the Province of Nova Scotia, and a representative from the Government of Canada. The Communications Officers from the CMM and UNSM, as well as the Project Fund Coordinator are non-voting members.
