The Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor), established in 2009, works to help develop a diversified, sustainable, and dynamic economy across Canada’s three territories, while at the same time contributing to Canada’s prosperity. We work with communities to develop and diversify local economies, and take advantage of the immense strengths of Northern Canada. CanNor fosters growth and development in the North by delivering economic development programs and by collaborating with and aligning the efforts of partners in northern and southern Canada to respond to economic challenges and opportunities in the North.
The Agency also coordinates the activities of other federal departments to maximize their collective impact – particularly federal regulators in relation to major project development – in the North, bringing insight, knowledge and partnerships together. CanNor has three key, interrelated business lines and services that help drive economic development: contribution programs; the Northern Projects Management Office; and serving as a voice for the North.
Founded in 2009, Yukon Mining Alliance (“YMA”), the globally recognized Invest Yukon brand – is a strategic industry alliance of Yukon’s leading exploration, development, and mining companies, focused on creating innovative capital attraction initiatives to promote Yukon’s competitive advantages as a top mineral investment jurisdiction, its member companies and their Yukon-based projects. YMA’s initiatives include international investment focused conferences, events, and campaigns in the North American, European, and global financial markets.
Yukon’s rich mineral industry is rooted in the famous 1898 Klondike Gold Rush, and in the largely underexplored geological potential in gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, tungsten, and PGM’s.
As a geopolitical stable first-world region with advanced northern infrastructure, Yukon stands apart in its partnership and commitment to advancing a progressive, modern mining jurisdiction, founded in ESG principles.
Yukon Mining Alliance collaborates with industry, organizations, and governments to connect investors with Invest Yukon globally.
The Yukon Chamber of Mines represents a dynamic membership and since its creation in 1943, it has worked to serve its valued members and advance the interests of all those involved in the Yukon mining industry. Membership has burgeoned over the years from a dozen founding members in 1943 to more than 650 today. This strong and diverse group includes exploration, mining and service and supply companies, contractors and individuals that have a direct or indirect interest in the mining industry. Significant discoveries and newly-opened mines and a commitment to responsibility place the Yukon at the forefront of the mining industry. As the trusted voice of mining, the Yukon Chamber of Mines thrives on the government, community, First Nation and individual partnerships it forges to help facilitate an environment of responsible development – one in which its members can continue to contribute and prosper.
