Work environment


Established in August 2009, Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor) is the only federal department with an exclusive mandate for the North. CanNor\'s vision is to develop a strong, diversified, sustainable and dynamic economy for Northerners and Indigenous people, communities and businesses across Canada\'s three Territories. As one of the smallest of the Government of Canada\xe2\x80\x99s regional development agencies (less than 120 staff in total), CanNor provides a unique opportunity for individuals looking to be part of a small but mighty organization that leverages its nimbleness to tackle some serious, high-profile socio-economic issues.

The Northern Projects Management Office (NPMO) was established to bring a holistic approach to the federal coordination of environmental review and regulatory processes for major resource development and infrastructure projects in the North. NPMO has three main functions, which are:

  • The coordination of federal input into the northern environmental assessment and regulatory review processes;

  • The coordination and assessment of adequacy of crown consultation with Indigenous communities and governments related to the environmental review processes;

  • Pathfinding and issues management to ensure that environmental assessment and regulatory review processes are effective and timely.

In short, this is definitely not just another boring old desk job! This is a rewarding opportunity for motivated and resourceful individuals to make a real difference in the economic and social wellbeing of northern residents; by working directly with communities and businesses, and witnessing first-hand the results of the government\xe2\x80\x99s investments.
