Research Centres

Lands and Economic Development, Indigenous Services Canada and Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada

The Centre for the North’s research model has allowed us to more efficiently and effectively leverage our resources and strengthen the evidence-based research we need for practical and informed decision-making and policy development. The Members’ meetings are an invaluable network for learning first-hand from other governments, Indigenous partners, and industry about their experiences, and having frank and open discussions about the complex challenges and opportunities facing Northerners.
