Canada enjoys extraordinary economic and social benefits thanks to its rich
endowment of natural resources. The natural resources sectors and allied
industries have been an engine of economic growth and job creation for generations.
As a leading exporter of natural resources and resource-based technology
and knowledge, Canada contributes to the well-being of people in many countries
around the world. A pioneer in geomatics and geoscience technologies, Canada
shares information and knowledge globally to promote the sustainable development
of natural resources and a competitive investment climate. This web site
provides a statistical snapshot of the importance of Canada’s natural
resources.
The
Earth Sciences Sector, the Energy Sector, the Canadian Forest Service,
and the Minerals and Metals Sector within NRCan cooperate to produce integrated
statistical information on Canada's natural resources and its natural
resource industries.
