A Proposed Arctic Search and Rescue Strategy for Canada
Graduate Project The Canadian Arctic has experienced a notable increase in maritime activity in recent years, driven in part by increased accessibility due to environmental changes as well as a growing northern cruise industry and hydrocarbon and mineral extraction projects. The present and expected...

The present and expected future expansion of these activities has prompted concerns regarding the provision of northern government services, in particular the lack of Search and Rescue (SAR) infrastructure within the Arctic.
