Northern Opportunities: A Conversation With Canada's Territorial Premiers
Northern Canada is a frontier for Canadian security, diplomacy, and economic opportunity. Comprising almost half of Canada’s landmass, the three Territories play a critical role in the country’s relations with neighboring Arctic partners, commercial growth through northern industries, and defense against adversaries and other threat actors.
Join us on February 13 at 9:30am EST for a panel discussion with Yukon Premier Ranj Pillai, Northwest Territories Premier R.J. Simpson, and Nunavut Premier P.J. Akeeagok on vectors of alignment and prospects for collaboration between Canada and the United States in the critically important Arctic region.
In-person participation at this event is invitation-only. Please direct general inquiries to Canada@wilsoncenter.org and media inquiries to Ryan.McKenna@wilsoncenter.org.
