Help build sustainable prosperity in Canada’s North
Canada’s northern communities, environment, and resources are receiving much attention from governments, businesses, and the media across Canada and around the world. Global economic growth is creating a new hunger for the resources that the North holds in abundance. Climate change is opening new opportunities in shipping and resource development even as it threatens existing infrastructure and traditional ways of life. Increased investment, from within Canada and abroad, can bring benefits to the North, but also presents challenges for local communities and the environment.
