Canada's Northern Strategy
Our North, Our Heritage, Our Future: Canada's Northern Strategy
Canada’s North is a fundamental part of Canada – it is part of our heritage, our future and our identity as a country.
The Government has a vision for a new North and is taking action to ensure that vision comes to life – for the benefit of all Canadians.
To meet the challenges and opportunities of a changing North, the Government has established a comprehensive Northern Strategy and is taking concrete action in four priority areas:
- Exercising our Arctic sovereignty
- Protecting our environmental heritage
- Promoting social and economic development
- Improving and devolving Northern governance
World-leading Arctic science and technology underpin the Northern Strategy and help ensure sound decision-making.
The Government is committed to helping the North realize its true potential as a healthy, prosperous and secure region within a strong and sovereign Canada.
