The current Ministry of Northern Development and Mines website has been redesigned and will launch shortly.

The redesign focuses on bringing commonly accessed information to the forefront by simplifying the content and navigation of the website. The new site will be in full compliance with government standards such as accessibility, translation, and visual identity requirements.

The new design will allow for the rapid addition of content. New content will continue to be added following the launch.

Please note that existing bookmarks to Ministry web pages may need to be updated within your web browser following the launch.
