JEPP applications for 2010/2011 are due at your PEP Regional Office on or by October 31, 2009. Please note applications received after this date will not be accepted.

The program supports initiatives such as emergency plans, training, equipment, Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) initiatives, Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) emergency preparedness, and Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) equipment and training.

Applicants must apply through the Provincial Emergency Program (PEP) for JEPP cost-share funding.

There is no set formula or ratio for the sharing of project costs. However, the federal contribution for applicants’ proposals generally will not exceed 50 per cent of the total project cost.

JEPP funds will not be paid out in advance; funds will only be provided upon satisfactory completion of a project and proof of payment, and be limited to pre-approved expenses only. If the JEPP cost-share funding exceeds $150,000, a project audit is required (costs incurred to conduct audits are not eligible for cost sharing under JEPP).

Projects that were started prior to the date of the Project Approval Notification Letter will not be eligible for cost-sharing.
