        Also with the depleting ice, the Northwest Passage

        is becoming more of a reality for shipping and
        this comes with its own set of concerns as well.

        Resource development through the mineral mining
        and fishery sectors is a huge contributor to the GDP

        of Nunavut. The North is more known to people in

        southern jurisdictions now and resource-rich lands
        will also be on the radar for the world as other areas

        are depleted of their resources and access to the
        North is getting easier.”




        As NCC grows, Synard says that the company
        strives to ensure that it trains as many people in

        the North as possible and that a local workforce

        is imperative for the current and future needs
        of Nunavut by reducing costs and reducing the

        number of imported workers into the territory.
