Northern Canada has experienced rapid change in recent years. Implementation of land claim settlements has introduced new approaches to resource management; global energy demands have renewed pressure for megaprojects, while toxins in the environment and climate change have created new environmental stresses. The course examines the underpinnings of these issues and demonstrates the role of geographic analysis in policy formulation and approaches to resource management in the contemporary North.
