Yellowknifers used a town hall with a federal defence official to stress the uniqueness of doing business in the North.

Ravi SK Singh, director general of defence industrial strategy at the Department of National Defence, hosted the meeting with local businesses to discuss a new federal strategy that aims to grow Canada’s domestic defence industry.

The event, which took place at Joint Task Force North headquarters last Thursday, was also attended by representatives of the city and territorial governments and the Yellowknives Dene First Nation.
