Mining and its supporting industries will continue to be important economic drivers in many of Canada’s Northern regions throughout the next decade. However, mining is a cyclical, non-renewable resource industry. How can its immense potential contribute to the balanced economic growth of Canada as a nation and to the sustainable prosperity of Canada’s North? How can mining projects benefit local and Aboriginal communities? And what is needed to ensure that development is carried out in a responsible and sustainable manner? This report examines these questions to provide a better understanding of the factors that need to be understood and evaluated throughout the life cycle of a mine.
The end result is an economic outlook for the mining industry till 2020, supplemented with a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and opportunities faced by industry proponents. The report’s findings provide policy-makers, industry leaders, and communities with insight on steps that can be taken to support the future of sustainable mining in Canada’s North.
