Northern Research Facilities
This interactive map shows the locations of the many research stations and other science facilities in Canada's Arctic and Subarctic, as well as what equipment they offer and how to contact their operators.
Canadian Network of Northern Research Operators (CNNRO)
The Canadian Network of Northern Research Operators (CNNRO) is a forum for operators of the many research facilities scattered across the Canadian Arctic and Subarctic.
Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks
The purpose of Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks (SAON) is to enhance Arctic-wide observing activities by facilitating partnerships and synergies among existing observation and data management activities, and to promote sharing and synthesis of data and information.
The Canadian Polar Information Network
The Canadian Polar Information Network (CPIN) makes polar data and information from across the country and around the world available to the public.
The Polar Blog
Produced jointly by the Canadian Polar Commission and Canadian Geographic Magazine, the Polar Blog will feature the work of Canadian researchers on topics that span the spectrum of polar knowledge.

Reporting on the State of Northern Knowledge in Canada
The Canadian Polar Commission’s mandate requires it to monitor and report to Canadians on the state of knowledge of the polar regions. Earlier this year the Commission began a study on the state of northern knowledge in Canada, and the report will be released this fall. Learn more...
What is the Canadian Polar Commission?
It's Canada’s primary polar knowledge agency. And it also:
• is a point of contact with the Canadian and international polar scientific communities;
• works with Canadian and international institutions to determine scientific and other priorities;
• encourages and facilitates cooperation and collaboration in polar knowledge;
• provides advice to the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development.
