Northern British Columbia will drive the province's economic future. It is a region of boundless economic potential with a broad array of renewable and non-renewable natural resources. However, as abundant and important as these natural advantages are, deliberate action and long-term vision are necessary to bring about the conditions for continued economic growth and sustainable development in Northern B.C. for the benefit of all British Columbians.
Fundamentally, the North wants to build a knowledge-based resource economy that is connected to the world. This is our aspiration and our collective resolve.
Investment, innovation and collaboration are essential to the realization of Northern B.C.'s vision for prosperity. In order to achieve this vision, future economic and community development in Northern B.C. must be built on the platform of four fundamental opportunities. These are:
- Adding value to natural resources.
- Growing the economic engine with strategic infrastructure investments.
- Training and retaining a young workforce in rural and Northern British Columbia.
- Collaborative decisions between local governments, First Nations and businesses on creating a positive climate for investment, certainty and sharing opportunities through regionalized resource revenue sharing.
This paper discusses these opportunities and provides 18 recommendations for their successful implementation.
