Description

Due to their small population and their unique geography, Canada's territories experience federalism in ways that greatly differ from the provinces.

This tenth event in the Contemporary Issues in Canadian Federalism Series focuses on the specific needs and challenges of each of Canada's territories and their unique views on federalism. Speakers will provide an overview of the different needs, contexts and considerations for Nunavut, the Yukon and the Northwest Territories.

Participants will leave this session with a better understanding of modern treaties and the role of self-government in shaping governance in these three territories.
