Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is said that the sparkle from Canadian diamonds mimics the awesome and seductive radiance of the northern lights, and yet, until 1991, no one thought diamonds could even be found in Canada. No one except two geologists who went in search of diamonds and found them on the Lac de Gras Barren Grounds at Point Lake near Yellowknife in Canadas Arctic. The discovery by Chuck Fipke and his partner, Dr. Stu Blusson, caused great excitement in international diamond circles. Today, Canada is the worlds third-largest producer, by value, of rough stones. Why? In contrast to gems mined in Africa, Canadas stones are considered pure ice, and they are also clean--not tainted by bloodshed and war as they are in such parts of the world as Sierra Leone and Angola. The discovery of diamonds in Canadas Arctic is an amazing story of perseverance in the face of immense odds. And the story has a very happy ending."--Back cover.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To understand the complex international diamond industry and how diamond production in the Northwest Territories would fit into it, this report begins by compiling basic information on the Canadian and international diamond industries as well as the economic situation in the Territories. It then examines six issues relating to establishing a value-added diamond industry in Canada and the Territories: trade policy, taxation, access to rough diamonds, training for the diamond and jewellery industries, the role of financial institutions in the value-added diamond industry, and security (including diamond-specific legislation). Appendices include summaries of presentations made to the committee studying the above issues, an overview of the world diamond industry, a review of federal and territorial programs and services supporting and encouraging medium and small business, and an analysis of relative business costs in the Northwest Territories.

Download or read book Many Norths written by Lola Sheppard and published by Actar D, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “There are many norths in this North.” – Louis-Edmond Hamelin, 1975 Many Norths: Spatial Practice in a Polar Territory charts the unique spatial realities of Canada’s Arctic region, an immense territory populated with small, dispersed communities. The region has undergone dramatic transformations in the name of sovereignty, aboriginal affairs management, resources, and trade, among others. For most of the Arctic’s modern history, architecture, infrastructure, and settlements have been the tools of colonialism. Today, tradition and modernity are intertwined. Northerners have demonstrated remarkable adaptation and resilience as powerful climatic, social, and economic pressures collide. This unprecedented book documents—through the themes of urbanism, architecture, mobility, monitoring, and resources—the multiplicity of norths that appear and the spatial practices employed to negotiate it. Using innovative drawings, maps, timelines, as well as essays and interviews, Many Norths reveals a distinct northern vernacular.
