Arctic North Revealed as Rich Land of Growers and Stock
The Arctic north of Canada is not a barren waste but a region of bright summers and lush vegetation with vast natural resources. Wheat once surprised Phila delphia in 1876, and today gardens along the Mackenzie show potatoes and vegetables can grow near the Arctic circle. Grazing and potential meat production from caribou, reindeer, and muskoxen are foreseen as exploitation expands. Perpetual breeding grounds for reindeer and muskoxen have been set aside on Southampton, Mansel, and Goat islands, while major companies hold large grazing leases north of the Churchill River. The region, long misperceived, is ready for development and will add to Canada’s wealth.
