Ottawa signed off on a three-year water licence designed to keep Imperial Oil's Norman Wells facility operating through a series of environmental assessments.
Norman Wells
The federal government has spent the week leading up to Sunday's election call shovelling funding announcements through the door. Here's an NWT round-up.
Will there be enough water for the NWT's barges to run this summer? The Sahtu's MLA thinks the signs are not good, though the GNWT is holding out hope.
Residents reported people "acting strangely in a luxury vehicle" on a Sahtu winter road. Police say they found drugs and a gun. Two Alberta men face charges.
Aurora College's president used the word "problematic" to describe the community learning centres it plans to close. Some MLAs were unimpressed by that choice.
Ten regular MLAs backed a call to ask Ottawa for humanitarian aid to ease Norman Wells' cost of living. Cabinet, which abstained, has 120 days to respond.
