Coral Harbour highlighted in community planning book

A new publication from the federal department of Indian and Northern Affairs looks at community planning in 17 aboriginal communities across Canada, including Coral Harbour.

Each community profile that’s featured in Sharing the Story: Experiences in First Nations, Inuit and Northern Communities – Comprehensive Community Planning includes an overview of its planning strategy and how it was successful.

The experience of Coral Harbour is offered as an example of how a community planning and economic development corporation lead to a commercial caribou hunt.

The collection of stories was initially started during a workshop on community planning and its relation to culture, health, prosperity and physical and social development.

Copies of the final report from this workshop and Sharing the Story are available from INAC offices or by calling 1-800-567-9604.
