Update: June 2, 2022- The deadline to submit applications under the Covid-19 Residential Home Heat & Energy Rebate Program has been reached. Individuals whose applications were successful will be notified by our COVID Support Team.

Description:

Due to the overwhelming success of the first random draw in the Fall of 2021, QFN is pleased to offer the Residential Home Heat & Energy Rebate Program for a second time. As a direct result of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and multiple stay at home orders, Qalipu First Nation recognizes that its members have endured and continue to experience financial hardship due to the unexpected rise in the cost of heating and running their homes. To support its membership through these unprecedented times, Qalipu First Nation is pleased to host a random draw to disperse a one-time payment of up to $350 to each successful applicant toward their incurred Home Heat & Energy costs. While all applications will be accepted, priority will be given to those who were not selected during the first random draw in the Fall of 2021. Limited funds are available, the draw will extend until funds are exhausted.

Program Eligibility:

• Applicant must be a registered member of Qalipu First Nation.
• Applicants are required to be a resident of Canada for a minimum of (12) consecutive months prior to date of application.
• Applicants are required to provide proof of Home Heat and/or Energy costs incurred in the form of receipts or invoices from a Registered Home Heat and/or Energy Provider displaying the following:
  • Applicant’s name and full address. Address on application must match service address listed on receipts/invoices provided.
  • The business # or HST # of registered business or show member’s account #.
  • Receipt/invoice(s) total must show a minimum of $350 in Home Heat or Energy charges.
  • Eligible receipt/invoices are required to be dated from the period of January 1^st, 2022 – May 1^st, 2022.

*Please Note: If the residential heat or energy account is in the name of a non-member spouse or partner, you may still submit your application with that document. However, it will be necessary to provide further documentation to support that you are a resident of that same household. Acceptable verification sources can include but are not limited to: property tax invoices, poll tax invoices, online shopping receipt or shipping confirmations, pay stubs etc. The secondary sources of proof must state the members/applicants name and an address that matches the home heat or energy receipt/invoice submitted. They must be from a registered business.
