We developed the project through a The Arctic Security Whole of Government Research Workshop held in Kingston, Ontario, in May 2014, supported by a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) Connections Grant. This gathering represented a collaborative effort between Trent University, the Borders in Globalization (BiG) Project, and DND, represented by the CDA, RMC, and Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC). The purpose was to bring together Northern experts to discuss the role of Whole of Government in DND’s approach to Arctic security, sovereignty and leadership capacity. Contributions came from a wide variety of defence, federal government departments, and academic institutions, and covered a range of topics including the role of the military, economic development, Indigenous inclusion, and food security. (For videos of the presentations, see http://post.queensu.ca/~leuprech/Arctic/vids.html.) Because one of the key objectives of the workshop was to understand how a Whole of Government perspective could be understood with respect to DND's role in the Arctic and the CDA’s role in leadership and training, the workshop organizer’s committed to a publication which would further define and discuss these issues. This publication, like the workshop itself, represented a collaboration between CDA, RMC, DND, the SSHRC-sponsored Borders in Globalization Partnership Project (BiG), and Trent University. We wish to offer special thanks to Dr. Bill Bentley (CDA), Major-General Eric Tremblay (CDA), Dr. Christian Leuprecht (RMC), and Dr. Karen Davis (DND) who were key co- organizers and important contributors to this project from the onset. We also thank the Canadian Forces College and RMC for permission to publish chapters from Ian Livermore and LCol Darwin Ziprick based upon major research papers that they produced to satisfy the requirements of the Masters of Defence Studies degree programme. A final thanks to Dr. Adam Lajeunesse and the Mulroney Institute of Government at St. Francis Xavier University for offering to publish this book in an expeditious fashion in late 2017 after previous plans fell through owing to the sudden loss of Dr. Bentley in August 2017.

  • High Arctic Theatre for All Audiences
    High Arctic theatre for all audiences WHITNEY LACKENBAUER The Globe and Mail September 14, 2010 The Arctic is cast in many roles by many people these days. The beauty of Operation Nanook, the “sovereignty and presence patrolling exercise” currently playing out in the High Arctic, is that all Canadians can and should applaud it. Some purveyors of polar peril see the Arctic as a region on the precipice of international conflict. Unsettled boundary disputes, dreams of newly accessible resources, legal uncertainties, sovereignty concerns and an alleged Arctic “arms race” point to the “use it or lose it” scenario repeatedly raised by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his government. A display of Canadian Forces capabilities certainly fits this script. Soldiers from 32 Canadian Brigade Group in Ontario, deployed north as an Arctic Response Company Group, are joined by Canadian Rangers to provide “boots on the ground” in Resolute, Pond Inlet and other Qiqiktani communities. Three naval ships, a dive team, helicopters and transport and patrol aircraft round out this visible demonstration of Canada’s military capabilities. On the other hand, commentators who emphasize that the circumpolar world is more representative of co-operation than competition can hold up Operation Nanook as an appropriate exercise of Canada’s capabilities. We are exercising our sovereignty by inviting our closest neighbours, the Danes and the Americans, to participate. We are putting aside the well-managed disputes over tiny Hans Island, the oil-rich Beaufort Sea and the Northwest Passage and working with the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Coast Guard and the Royal Danish Navy to enhance our ability to operate together.
