Also of importance is the wealth of important scientific information that will be collected in Canada's most remote region. By working together and deploying the latest technologies, the partners will deepen our understanding of the Arctic – and of working in the Arctic – in a cost-effective, efficient, and productive manner. The Project will also deliver tangible benefits to Arctic communities.
