Northwest Territories Association of Communities Yellowknife, NT

The Northwest Territories Association of Communities

The NWTAC is the non-profit, non-governmental organization representing the interests of all 33 NWT communities. The NWTAC presents a unified voice for communities on municipal goals and issues, based upon the membership’s democratic adoption of resolutions and policy. We promote these priorities through advocacy to the territorial and federal governments and through our membership in the national Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Services to member communities include: development and delivery of programs serving community needs, such as the Northern Communities Insurance Program; support for development of members’ management capacity, particularly in community planning, energy management, and development of management support tools and best practices; exchange of information and technical services support; and, issues research and analysis. At the NWTAC we are working together to serve our communities by addressing common issues, delivering programs and exchanging information. We are the unified voice for communities on municipal goals determined by our members.
