Hello,
The Department of Canadian Heritage is pleased to invite provincial and territorial governments, the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC), and non-profit (Canadian) organizations and professional associations to submit funding requests for projects under the Teacher Recruitment and Retention Strategy for the 2020-2021 period.
This call for proposals is for short-term projects that will take place between June 1, 2020, and March 31, 2021, and that will assist in addressing immediate needs arising from the COVID-19 situation with regard to the recruitment and retention of teachers in minority French-language schools and teachers in French immersion and French second-language programs.
The form and guide attached to this email will help you to properly complete your request, which must be sent by email to pch.fptlo-fptol.pch@canada.ca no later than June 30, 2020. An acknowledgment of receipt will be sent within five business days.
Any request received after this date may not be accepted.
Please note that a second call for proposals will take place in the fall for additional 2020-2021 projects, should funds be available, and projects beginning in 2021-2022. The launch of this second call for proposals, with the accompanying form and guide, is planned for September 15, 2020, with a submission deadline of November 2, 2020.
