The North has become a focal point for the development of Canada’s economy, the evolution of our society, and the exercise of our sovereignty across its vast terrain. Far more than a frontier for resource development and border disputes, the North is a homeland for substantial Aboriginal populations, encompassing First Nation, Métis, and Inuit communities, as well as a growing diversity of non-Aboriginal people in some regions.

Building a Resilience and Prosperous North reviews the five years of Conference Board research and in-depth dialogue with Northerners, and maintains that building up the resilience of Northern communities should be a Canadian priority. Our research indicated that up-front investments in Northern communities’ Aboriginal youth, the upgrading of Northern infrastructure, and policy development related to good governance are high priorities and will deliver the biggest impact.
