The NWT and Nunavut Chamber of Mines has appointed a chief executive officer.

Paul Hébert takes on the role on May 11, the chamber announced Tuesday in a news release.

The NWT and Nunavut Chamber of Mines advocates for responsible and sustainable mine exploration and development across the two territories. It has offices in Iqaluit and Yellowknife.

The chamber touted Hébert in the release as a leader who will “raise awareness” and be a “strong advocate” for chamber membership as more people are paying attention to the North.

Arctic security and sovereignty have come front and centre in Canada under Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government, with several billion dollars directed toward defence spending across the North.

Hébert has worked in leadership positions at the Mining Industry Human Resource Council, the Canadian Nuclear Association and the Appraisal Institute of Canada.

Most recently, he was vice-president of communications at the Mining Association of Canada.
