A Guide to Natural Resources Canada Programs and Activities in Canada's North

Quality of Life Through Sustainable Resource Development

Conclusion

The North is undergoing a period of remarkable change. There are new territorial and Aboriginal governments, new ways of governing and new opportunities for social and economic development.

The information in this guide is to help northern Canadians take advantage of NRCan's knowledge and expertise, new technologies and partnering possibilities in support of resource management and development.

We view this guide as one step in an on-going process of supporting and strengthening NRCan's and northerners' efforts to advance the sustainable development of the North's natural resources. We hope you find it useful.
