The Northern Special Projects Fund was created and launched in 1994 as part of the Action North Initiative. It was designed as an incremental assistance fund for worthwhile development projects which could access other government programs. The Action North Initiative targets the specific needs of the region extending from Beresford to Kegwich/St. Quentin. Through this framework the New Brunswick government worked closely with the local residents to develop effective, relevant means that will assist in economic recovery and restore confidence in the entrepreneurial capacities of the north. The fiscal year 1995-96 was the last year for the Northern Special Projects Fund. 2, record 9, English, - Northern%20Special%20Projects%20Fund
