One of Canada’s key accomplishments as a nation since the influx of the first settlers has been the development of the country through the exploration of, settling and development of some of the most inhospitable land on earth.
Today, Canada continues to push back and develop its frontiers—a perfect example of which is Quebec’s Plan Nord—to develop the northernmost region of this province. The Plan Nord is probably the most ambitious plan ever undertaken in this country. Following input from the Quebec and regional governments, First Nations, Inuit, economical, social, community and environmental representatives, a strategy has been created to set the Plan Nord in motion.
But unlike some of Canada’s previous major developments, such as the building of the railroad, Trans Canada Highway or creation of the St. Lawrence Seaway, Quebec’s plan Nord is aiming to be a model of sustainability and respect for the environment. Highlights of the initiative include:
One of the challenges in developing the currently inhospitable terrain of northern Quebec is how to deliver building tools and materials to the region. Sand, cement, fuel, food, water, medical supplies—pallet upon pallet of crucial supplies will need to be shipped to the northernmost parts of Quebec.
