The Harvesting Equipment Program provides funding assistance for equipment required to carry out hunting, fishing, gathering and/or trapping activities. This includes the following:
a. Small Equipment: 50% of the equipment costs (including shipping costs) to a maximum of $500 per request and $1,000 per family each year for small harvesting equipment/tools (See list of eligible small equipment listed in the application form);
b. Safety Equipment: 50% of the equipment costs (including shipping costs) to a maximum of $500 per request and $1,000 per family each year for safety equipment used for harvesting (See list of eligible safety equipment listed in the application form);
c. Disaster Relief: 25% of the net replacement cost, to a maximum of $2,000, for any major harvesting equipment lost in an accident or disaster. To qualify for this program, the equipment must be lost or damaged beyond repair. Net replacement cost refers to the purchase price (including shipping costs) of replacement equipment minus any payment from insurance and/or any other government programs on the same equipment.
