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.

    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.

  • The Benefits Economic Diversification
    Corridors For Canada II: Building on Our Success Corridors For Canada 2 Building on Success A Proposal for InvestmentStrategic Infrastructure in Strategic Transportation Infrastructure Prepared by the Government of the Northwest Territories September 2005 Message from the Government The original Corridors for Canada proposal was released in May of 2002 as the Government of the Northwest Territories’ response to the federal government’s announcement of the Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund. It demonstrated that resource development in the Northwest Territories was placing great strain on the Northwest Territories highway system and that strategic investment was required to ensure that the full and enormous potential of this development would benefit both the Northwest Territories and Canada. We have realized significant progress since the Corridors for Canada proposal was presented. The improve- ments to existing infrastructure accomplished have advanced us towards the long-term vision presented in our 2000 Highway Strategy: Investing in Roads for People and the Economy. This includes improving existing infrastructure in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor in response to oil and gas and pipeline developments and sec- tions of the National Highway System in the Slave Geologic Province, including the proposed Deh Cho Bridge. But resource development has not stopped. We are now on the eve of the construction of the Mackenzie Gas Project. Construction of a third diamond mine in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut’s first diamond mine started earlier this year. Plans for other new mineral developments are being finalized. The increased pace and scope of resource development have prompted the GNWT to update the original Corridors for Canada pro- posal to ensure that the transportation infrastructure can keep pace with these developments.
