There is a map of Canada in the middle of the page with various statistics laid out around it: 225 communities participated, 130 eligible applications were received, 24 applications represented Indigenous communities or focused on Indigenous populations, the largest community has 2,700,000 residents, and the smallest community has 185 residents.
