Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment Wally Schuman this week tabled a What We Heard Report summarizing public engagements conducted by the Department in its ongoing development of a Manufacturing Strategy for the NWT.
Engagement sessions were held across the five regions of the Northwest Territories (NWT) to define the state of manufacturing and to identify challenges and opportunities that will guide the government’s development of this Strategy.
Public meetings were held in Inuvik, Norman Wells, Fort Simpson, Fort Smith, Hay River and Yellowknife. Additionally, private, face-to-face sessions, were held with key stakeholder groups, businesses operating in the manufacturing sector, and with industry in general.
Additional information, including background materials and a discussion paper developed for the Department’s engagements can be found on ITI’s Have Your Say engagement portal.
