Federal funding boss: ‘Money shouldn’t be issue’ for Arctic Corridor – Cabin Radio

A senior figure at the Canada Infrastructure Bank spoke about the proposed Arctic Corridor in such glowing terms that an NWT minister said she had been given “a lot of hope and a lot of excitement” for the project.
The corridor would create a year-round highway from the Yellowknife region to Nunavut’s Arctic coast, alongside power and telecoms connections.
Proponents say it will link a mineral-rich region of the NWT – the Slave Geological Province – to both an Arctic deepwater port and the south of Canada, while helping Arctic sovereignty as the first road connection between the two territories.
