WKR applauds yesterday's joint press release from Nunavut Tunngavik and the Government of Nunavut, outlining their roadmap to securing Canada's Arctic sovereignty and security.


Read in full here.


The press release highlights the importance of the "Arctic Security Corridor/Grays Bay Road and Port Project – The Grays Bay Road and Port is a 230 km all-weather road and port linking Nunavut to the Northwest Territories, unlocking access to mineral-rich regions. This project will bolster the terrestrial connection to the Arctic Ocean, opening opportunities for mining of critical minerals to meet Canada’s growing need for responsibly sourced rare earth elements and battery metals, which are essential for clean energy and defence applications. It will also be the only deepwater port in the western archipelago on or near the Northwest Passage, which will become more significant as the Arctic Ocean sees a longer ice-free season and increased shipping traffic."
