Cambridge Bay, Canada Freshwater Fish Marketing Corporation Full time
President, Canadian High Arctic Research Station

The mission of Polar Knowledge Canada (POLAR) is to conduct world-class cutting edge Arctic research. POLAR is responsible for advancing Canada’s knowledge of the Arctic and strengthening Canadian leadership in polar science and technology.

This federal agency operates the Canadian High Arctic Research Station (CHARS) in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. This strong research presence in Canada’s Arctic serves Canada and the world, and advances Canada’s knowledge of the Arctic in order to improve economic opportunities, environmental stewardship, and the quality of life for Northerners and all Canadians.

POLAR liaises with research organizations and institutes throughout the circumpolar world, providing guidance for multilateral scientific projects relevant to Canadian interests.

Operating out CHARS, POLAR is governed by a Board of Directors composed of nine members and the President. The President is the Chief Executive Officer of POLAR and is responsible for its day-to-day management and direction in accordance with the Canadian High Arctic Research Station Act. The President must submit the science and technology plan (at intervals of five years or less) and annual workplans and budgets to the Board for approval. The President reports to Parliament through the Minister of Northern Affairs.

Further details about the organization and its activities can be found on the Polar Knowledge Canada’s website.
