Centre for the North Summit - Canada's North 2013

We are excited to invite you to our upcoming Northern Summit in Whitehorse, 15-17 October 2013. This event revolves around three central themes:

• Connections: We'll consider physical infrastructure - the roads, airports, and telecommunications links that connect people and communities across the North.
• Community: Discussion will include critical issues related to resilience such as housing, health, governance, and economic development.
• Commerce: Commercial interest from companies around the world will accelerate in the coming years. We'll look at ways to maximize the opportunities and minimize the risks.

Also, join us for the Northern Networking Exchange. It will be open to members of the public who are interested in connecting with Summit delegates and others.
