The Intergovernmental Relations Division ensures the interests and aspirations of the residents of the Northwest Territories (NWT) are reflected in the Government of the Northwest Territories’ (GNWT) participation in intergovernmental activities.
Intergovernmental Relations is responsible for managing the government’s relationships with federal, provincial, territorial and Aboriginal governments and with circumpolar countries in all matters of intergovernmental significance. It provides strategic advice on matters pertaining to federal, provincial, territorial and Aboriginal government relations.
Participation can range from involvement in national initiatives and policy development, to initiating and developing cross-departmental strategies, to shaping strategies led by other GNWT departments.
The GNWT (through Aboriginal Affairs and Intergovernmental Relations) maintains an office in Ottawa. This office assists in maintaining and enhancing the presence of the GNWT in Ottawa with Federal Ministers, Members of Parliament, Senators, political staff, public servants and the public at large. The office is used by all GNWT departments when attending to business in the nation’s capital.
