The Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Perry Trimper, is attending the Northern Development Ministers' Forum in Iqaluit which continues today.
The Northern Development Ministers' Forum provides federal, provincial and territorial ministers representing Canada's north an opportunity to advance common interests and raise awareness of northern issues and accomplishments.
The Northern Development Ministers Forum (NDMF) was established in 2001 to advance the diverse and common interests of the people living in Canada’s North, while raising awareness among decision-makers and the public about the accomplishments, contributions and potential of northerners.
The theme of this year's forum is Northern Development: Land of Opportunities.
