| Granular
Planning |
| We coordinate community
granular supplies with all GNWT departments, as well as
Crown Corporations, municipalities, and non-government organizations.
The aim is to provide gravel at reasonable cost for capital
projects in communities.
We look for ways to empower communities to plan and manage
their own gravel supply. We also assist the private sector
in developing cost-effective granular product delivery.
