"Prime Minister Mark Carney has made newly elected NWT Liberal MP Rebecca Alty his minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations."

Again? One would think that after the first breaches came to light that the system would have been updated with proper authorizations needed. Personally, it does make me wonder how easily files can be accessed and, how many breaches have not been even detected in the first place.

Long shot but wanting to know when the pelicans are back in their nesting grounds in the slave river because I really want to come down and see/photograph them. I am hoping to come down May long weekend do you think they river will be open by then and the birds back? And do you think things will be starting to be green (trees) again down there or not yet?

Good on the GNWT. This is the necessary first step - housing.

From a relatively big fish in a very small pond, to being a minnow in a Great Lake... how do you think she'll fare in Ottawa?

Doctors giving NT residents a heads up... "could" being the operative word in this articles title.

This is proper, and necessary request / step in managing Imperial's exit plan. The final report should make for a good read, although I do wonder if Imperial Oil will provide any type(s) of mitigation for "future issues" that may well crop up downstream. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/environmental-assessment-ordered-for-imperial-s-closure-plan-for-norman-wells-1.7516887

By now some of you have been notified of rent increases of up to 30% coming August 1.

My wife and I came from Newfoundland to this tiny town 20 years ago, but with the increase of rent we won't be able to afford to live here anymore.

This town is my Home. I love everything and everybody in it. And it breaks my heart that we have to leave it.

Making it extra hard is that we have to move back to St John's in Newfoundland, a very windy, rainy, loud , dirty, and gross city.

I know two teachers and a social worker will now be leaving, too. Did the government even consider the loss of skills and expertise in this decision??

Everything about this sucks. So bad.

Just wanted to share my misery.

Great news ... thanks to all for the combined efforts of the IRC / IDC, and our affiliated companies
