They discussed navigating the economic challenges facing the territory, and the vital role of partnerships among and with Indigenous governments with Indigenous organizations. Discussions focused on preparing for the impact of upcoming diamond mine closures, various ways of creating a more diverse economy, and the importance of developing the NWT’s workforce, reinforcing the understandings that true partnerships will allow us to advance economic development in the Territory.
