What it does

This Program is responsible for the management of over 100 contaminated sites and addresses risks to the environment and human health/safety in the three territories and to reduce federal environmental liabilities, while continuing to promote new socio-economic opportunities for Indigenous Peoples and northerners.

The Program demonstrates the department’s commitment to self-determination and economic reconciliation through Indigenous partners’ participation in project governance and the promotion and creation of socio-economic benefits. Indigenous and northern communities benefit from the Program’s engagement activities that facilitate improved accessibility to employment, training, and business opportunities created by the Program’s projects. Decisions on how to advance the projects incorporate feedback from engagement activities with Indigenous communities to ensure that community needs are met. This helps develop and maintain long-term partnerships with Indigenous and northern communities through governance and partnering opportunities, as well as capacity-building activities. Through these efforts, the Program contributes to a sustainable and prosperous North and Arctic, grounded in environmental stewardship and inclusive economic development.
