About

Founded in 1994, Natural Resources Canada is a Government of Canada department that aims to improve the quality of life for all Canadians by creating a sustainable resource advantage. The department develops policies and programs that enhance the contribution of the natural resources sector to the economy and improve the quality of life for all Canadians. It also conducts innovative science in facilities across Canada to generate ideas and transfer technologies. We are focusing on key initiatives such as advancing Canada’s transition to net-zero emissions by 2050. We also represent Canada at the international level to meet the country’s global commitments related to the sustainable development of natural resources.
