ARCTIC360 IN OTTAWA: ‘Unlocking Canada’s Arctic Economic Potential Business, Government, and Community Partnerships for Common Success’.

December 2-3, 2025 | Invitation Only
Fairmont Château Laurier

Canada’s Arctic is so much more than a remote region — it is a vital cornerstone of our national identity, sovereignty, and future prosperity. With the world looking north, the question is no longer if the Arctic will shape Canada’s economic future, but how.

Across two days, participants will examine what it will take to move from fragmented efforts to a cohesive, inclusive strategy that strengthens northern communities, connects the region to the rest of Canada, and unlocks its economic potential.
