ELLOWKNIFE (June 5, 2015) – The new Northwest Territories Mining Industry Advisory Board (MIAB) held its inaugural meeting in Yellowknife on June 3, 2015.
Mr. Speaker, the NWT is home to a small, but vibrant, manufacturing sector. We manufacture a range of products in the Northwest Territories – from signs and steel girders, to roof trusses, windows and fibreglass tanks.
Mr. Speaker, the NWT Economic Opportunities Strategy, or EOS, is the most informed approach ever taken to advancing economic development in the NWT.
Mr. Speaker, the resource sector is the single largest contributor to the NWT economy. Mining has created more than 28,000 jobs and produced $46 billion in minerals since the early 1930s.
YELLOWKNIFE (February 12, 2015) – A new pilot program that aims to increase film production activity in the Northwest Territories has been created.
Mr. Speaker, Great Slave Lake is the every-day workplace of a proud community of northern fishers who work tirelessly to harvest some of the best tasting fish in Canada – and deliver it year round to the marketplace.
