Regional Tile Drainage Program
The 2023 intake for tile drainage projects will close on May 17, 2023.
This year's application form is now available. Please review the guidelines carefully to ensure you have all necessary documents before submitting your application. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
If your project is included in a consortium, the work must be completed before the project closes (typically within a year of NOHFC project approval). If you fail to complete your project, you jeopardize NOFIA’s ability to deliver this funding and NOFIA reserves the right to exclude you from any future consortium.
The consortium will be structured after the application deadline and you will be notified when your project has been submitted. All 2023 work will be undertaken at your own risk. Costs incurred before they are eligible (date provided once included in a consortium) will not be considered.
NOFIA reserves the right to limit individual acreages within each consortium. If applying for multiple locations, please prioritize locations in your application.
Upon opening of the intake, applications may be submitted via email to emily.nofia@gmail.com, faxed to the office at 705-647-4783, or dropped off in person at 51B Armstrong Street N, New Liskeard.
*2023 tender forms are available upon request
