Strategic and Technical Advisory Services related to Climate Change, Adaptation, Clean Energy, Natural Resources and the Environment in Indigenous (First Nation, Inuit, Metis) and Northern Communities – Standing Offer Agreement

Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC) is one of 34 federal government departments responsible for meeting the Government of Canada's obligations and commitments to First Nations, Inuit and Métis, and for fulfilling the federal government's constitutional responsibilities in the North. CIRNAC's responsibilities are largely determined by numerous statutes, negotiated agreements and relevant legal decisions. Most of CIRNAC's programs and spending are delivered through partnerships with Indigenous communities and federal-provincial or federal-territorial agreements. CIRNAC also works with urban Indigenous peoples, Métis and Non-Status Indians (many of whom live in rural areas).
Work under CIRNAC’s Natural Resources and Environment Branch (NREB) focuses on areas such as climate change adaptation, clean energy, conservation, land use planning, mining and Critical Minerals in the North, oil and gas activities, and related legislative and/or regulatory activities.
