Tourism Growth Program (Atlantic Canada)
ACOA · Federal
In plain language
$108M/3 years (2023–26) national program; ACOA delivers in Atlantic Canada. Funds tourism product development, experiential offerings, and destination investments for communities, SMEs, and nonprofits. Non-repayable for nonprofits and Indigenous groups; repayable for for-profits. Current TGP envelope runs through FY2025–26 — the future beyond that depends on federal tourism strategy renewal (watch Budget 2026). Pair with provincial NL TPDP for a layered capital stack.
