  • Northwest Territories Transportation Strategy, 2015-2040
    TABLED DOCUMENT 267-17(5) TABLED ON JUNE 3, 2015 NING CON THE NEC NG TI E ON R S ST S E E M Connecting I T B I R N A Us U C T I N R G O P I N P N O O G V A IN T R IO U N PT CA 2015-2040 Northwest Territories Transportation Strategy Minister’s Message The road, air, rail and marine transportation system has played a key role in the history and development of the Northwest Territories, and will continue to support sustainable communities and a growing economy into the future. Over the past year, the Department of Transportation engaged a broad base of stakeholders to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing our northern transportation system. These engagements helped identify the vision and strategic priorities for enhancing our transportation system to meet the future needs of residents, communities, businesses and industry. As we mark the 25th anniversary of the Department of Transportation, established in 1989, and reflect on the great accomplishments achieved to date, it is the perfect time to redefine the path forward over the next 25 years. This strategy, Connecting Us, presents a vision for the transportation system and the strategic long-term priorities that will guide future actions of the Department of Transportation. It also outlines a framework for measuring and reporting on our success into the future. Northerners are strong, resilient people and we must continue working together to strengthen connections, capture opportunities and embrace innovation. Doing so will improve and enhance our transportation infrastructure, services, programs and policies, which will, in turn, lead to a sustainable economy, vibrant communities and self-reliant people.

Its tasks are to seek out and identify all means whereby the economy of the North can be expanded at a more rapid pace, to develop a broad plan of economic programs, and to recommend (and in some instances, manage) specific projects and policies for achieving this objective. The type of northern development sought is of a general or balanced nature which will ensure that economic growth in both the Yukon Territory and Northwest Territories will continue without exclusive reliance on exploitation of non- renewable resources even though the exploitation of such resources at the moment forms the only substantial basis for rapid economic growth.

  • Northern Connections
    NORTHERN CONNECTIONS A Multi-Modal Transportation Blueprint for the North FEBRUARY 2008 Government of Yukon Photos and maps courtesy of: ALCAN RaiLink Inc. Government of British Columbia Government of Northwest Territories Government of Nunavut Government of Yukon Designed and printed in Canada’s North Copyright February 2008 ISBN: 1-55362-342-8 MESSAGE FROM MINISTERS It is our pleasure to present Northern Connections: A Multi-Modal Transportation Blueprint for the North, a pan-territorial perspective on the transportation needs of Northern Canada. This paper discusses a vision for the development of northern transportation infrastructure in the context of a current massive infrastructure decit. Research has proven that modern transportation infrastructure brings immense benets. The northern transportation system of the future must support economic development, connect northern communities to each other and to the south, and provide for enhanced sovereignty and security in Canada’s north. This document complements a comprehensive national transportation strategy – Looking to the Future: A Plan for Investing in Canada’s Transportation System – released under the auspices of the Council of the Federation in December 2005. The three territories support the details contained in Looking to the Future that call for a secure, long-term funding framework for transportation infrastructure that will benet all Canadians. Equally important, northern territories stress that this national strategy – and any subsequent funding mechanisms that follow – must account for unique northern needs and priorities, which would be largely overlooked using nation-wide criteria only. This paper is also consistent with A Northern Vision: A Stronger North and a Better Canada, the May 2007 release of a pan-territorial vision for the north.
