All communities eligible for food subsidies are also eligible for subsidized country or traditional food. Slide 53: look for the food mail 2011. For instance, in the late 1960s the federal government instituted a transportation subsidy for a select list of foods to be run through canada post. This subsidy was called the food mail program and it existed until. April 2011 when it was replaced by nutrition north canada. Nnc is a retail-based program intended to subsidize the high cost of perishable, nutritious foods in the north. Retailers receive a subsidy on certain foods that are flown into eligible northern communities. The subsidy is applied on two levels of perishable and nutritious foods, and is based on destination and weight. Retailers are expected to pass on the subsidy to consumers.
