Why Behchokǫ̀ Residents Choose CCFD
Behchokǫ̀'s economy is anchored by the Tłı̨chǫ Government — one of Canada's most sophisticated Indigenous governments, with its own legislation, institutions, and economic development arm (Tłı̨chǫ Investment Corporation). The community's proximity to the diamond mines (Ekati and Diavik are within the Tłı̨chǫ traditional territory) means many residents work in the mining sector under the Tłı̨chǫ's Impact and Benefit Agreements. Government services, healthcare, education at Alexis Arrowmaker School, and traditional land-based activities complete the picture.
From a Tłı̨chǫ Government employee managing between pay periods, to a diamond mine rotation worker who lives in Behchokǫ̀ managing an off-rotation gap, to a community healthcare worker dealing with an unexpected expense, to a Tłı̨chǫ family managing the costs of living in a remote NWT community — CCFD's platform is available to all Behchokǫ̀ residents any time of day.

Behchokǫ̀ Borrower Rights Under Federal Law
The Northwest Territories has not enacted territorial payday lending legislation. Behchokǫ̀ residents are protected by federal consumer protection provisions under Canada's Criminal Code.
| Protection Framework | What It Means for Behchokǫ̀ Borrowers |
|---|---|
| Legal Framework | Federal Criminal Code of Canada — consumer credit provisions |
| NWT Legislation | No dedicated territorial payday lending law |
| Federal Rate Cap | Effective annual rate capped under federal law |

NWT vs Southern Provinces — What's Different
Most Canadian provinces have enacted their own payday lending legislation with specific fee caps — Ontario at $14 per $100, BC at $15, Saskatchewan at $17. The Northwest Territories has not yet passed equivalent territorial legislation, so federal Criminal Code provisions govern short-term lending in Behchokǫ̀ and across the NWT.
This means the specific regulatory structure differs from southern provinces, but federal consumer protection requirements still apply — including mandatory cost disclosure and interest rate limits. CCFD only works with lenders who meet all applicable federal standards.
- Federal Criminal Code rate cap applies to all Behchokǫ̀ loans
- Full cost disclosure required by law before any loan is finalized
- No legitimate lender charges upfront fees before disbursing funds
- Applying is free and will not affect your credit score
- Always read the complete loan agreement before accepting any offer
NWT borrower protection: Always verify total loan cost before signing. Never pay fees before receiving funds — that is a scam. For concerns, contact the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) at 1-866-461-3222 or visit canada.ca/fcac.
