When the Canadian High Arctic Research Station is built, it will provide a world-class center that will provide services for science and technology in Canada's North. The Station, in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, will attract international scientists to work in Canada and engage Northerners in cutting-edge science and technology to address their needs in a changing North.
