The allocation of funds to First Nations for many INAC programs is influenced by factors such as geographic location, distance from major population centres, and the local climatic condition. First Nations are classified according to these factors and assigned remoteness and environmental indices which are used in calculating funding allocations. These indices affect funding for the following programs: Facilities Operation and Maintenance (O&M); Education; Social Development; and Indian Government Support. It should be emphasized that the intent of these indices is to provide a sense of geographic and economic reality in the funding process and, as such, must not be interpreted as a reflection of where a First Nation prefers to conduct its business. For further information, please see the Band Classification Manual.
