IAMC-TMX Funding Delivery Partner

The Indigenous Advisory and Monitoring Committee for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project (IAMC-TMX) includes 13 Indigenous and six senior federal members to oversee the Trans Mountain pipeline project and provide advice to regulators and other government bodies. Members have a shared goal of safety and protection of environmental and Indigenous interests over lands and waters.

The IAMC-TMX is seeking proposals to administer the IAMC’s Stream 1 funding in partnership with the Indigenous Caucus (“Caucus”), according to a funding agreement with Natural Resources Canada. The successful proponent will administer up to $8 million for fiscal year 2025-2026, ending March 31, 2026 (“the project”). The successful proponent will commit to a one-year relationship, renewable by mutual agreement of the proponent and Natural Resources Canada.

There is an expectation that if other funding opportunities arise for the Indigenous Caucus for related projects, that the same organization would also support administration of those agreements.

The proponent will provide financial services, administering funding in support of approved workplan activities, and participate in the development of IAMC workplans while ensuring responsible stewardship of public funds and providing the necessary enabling frameworks, policies, systems, and best practices and tools to support program management and operations. The successful applicant will be expected to enter into an agreement with Caucus (a Memorandum of Understanding) to establish a shared understanding of responsibility and accountability between the proponent, Caucus, the IAMC-TMX Committee, and Natural Resources Canada.

Proposals are being accepted until November 29, 2024. Preference may initially be given to projects that can proceed on a timely basis.

To apply through this Call for Proposals, please complete the form below and return it to the IAMC-TMX Secretariat at tmxcommittee-comitetmx@nrcan-rncan.gc.ca. Proposals will be accepted via email until 11:59pm PST on November 29, 2024.

Today, we pause to honour and remember. December 6 marks the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, commemorating the 14 women murdered at Montréal’s École Polytechnique in 1989. This day reminds us of the urgent need to end gender-based violence in all its forms. For the IAMC-TMX Socioeconomic Subcommittee (SESC), this commitment is deeply connected to our work. We advocate for the safety, security, and economic well-being of Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people in the context of resource development. Our efforts include: • Advancing Action Plan Measure 12 (APM 12) under the UNDRIP Act to protect Indigenous women and gender-diverse people in infrastructure projects. • Promoting wise practices for community safety and oversight. • Integrating a gendered lens (IGBA+) into emergency management and regulatory frameworks. • Supporting Indigenous-led monitoring and decision-making to address socioeconomic impacts. Violence against women is both a personal tragedy and a systemic issue that intersects with resource development, economic security, and community wellness. Today, and every day, we reaffirm our commitment to protecting and promoting the rights of Indigenous women and gender-diverse people.
