The Transformative Experience of Visiting the North

Description

If you don't work directly on northern issues, you may not be aware of the unique environmental, social and economic challenges facing the Inuit and northern communities in Canada.

Join us as three executives share their experience of visiting Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut, as part of their leadership program.

From learning about the role of the Canadian Coast Guard in the north to sewing crafts with Inuit Elders, consulting with stakeholders and partners, and admiring the majestic tundra landscape, these leaders will relate how this experience has forever changed their perspective on the north—especially its issues and challenges and how we should address them.
