The Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) is working in partnership with the federal Department of Crown Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC) to explore the viability of a remediation economy in the Northwest Territories; and how best to keep the economic benefits from future remediation activities in the NWT.
Background
Together with the Government of Canada, the GNWT is working today to understand the extent and full potential of economic opportunities that may arise from the remediation of non-renewable resource projects in the future.
It is estimated that as many as 500 sites need remediating in the NWT; at a cost of nearly $4.8B over the next 30 years. Labour projections indicate that as-many-as 700 Full-time Equivalent Positions will be required every year for the next 15 years.
What kinds of trades are available in the NWT? When and how many employees will be needed? Where in the Northwest Territories will these projects be located or based?
Answering these questions and others will help the GNWT and CIRNAC better understand the steps and government supports that are needed to position northern and Indigenous companies to compete and benefit from opportunities in the remediation sector.
Some initial research has been completed and is summarized in the document Overview of the NWT Remediation Economy: Engagement Paper.
Based on this information and current engagements with NWT residents, the GNWT will put its own planning and investment in place and identify a series of “next steps” to guide NWT residents and businesses hoping to pursue opportunities created by remediation activity in the NWT.
Next Steps
This Engagement is now closed. Findings will be reviewed.
To plan and guide its next steps, the GNWT needs to understand how the existence of a viable remediation economy will impact you specifically.
Please read the attached Overview of the NWT Remediation Economy then complete the survey provided. No personal information will be retained.
