The Canadian Institute's 3rd Annual Aboriginal Consultation for Industry North of 60Â°

The Explorer Hotel, Yellowknife, NT, Canada

Fundamental changes are taking place that will revolutionize the regulatory framework north of 60Â°. These federal initiatives will change consultation practices and significantly impact development going forward.

The time to capitalize on these regulatory changes is now.
