CIRNAC in Nunavut
This is an exciting time for Nunavut. Since its creation in 1999, the territory has experienced consistent economic and population growth and is poised for continued expansion in key sectors of the economy, such as the service industry, mining, construction and transportation. Investments in public infrastructure continue to bring new schools, health centres, airport improvements and research facilities and also continue to improve broadband Internet access. Local and regional social and cultural development efforts are encouraging Nunavummiut to take advantage of economic opportunities while remaining firmly rooted in their culture.
Our Mission
"To work in partnership to help improve the quality of life of Nunavummiut through economic and social development, environmental stewardship and effective management of natural resources."
The Nunavut Regional Office (NRO), Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) offers a variety of programs and services and is responsible for a number of key regulatory activities in Nunavut. NRO staff work with Nunavummiut to manage land and water and mineral resources, and to remediate contaminated sites. The NRO also supports the positive and productive relationship shared between the Government of Canada and the Government of Nunavut, and works with a number of territorial stakeholders, such as Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated, to implement the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement.
The NRO welcomes your involvement in working together to respond to the challenges and opportunities before Nunavut.
