LU gets research funding

Lakehead University is getting 2.5 million dollars in funding for research. The money is going towards a study that is looking at maximizing development in the Arctic and far North while minimizing the social impact on First Nations and the environment. Minister of State Gary Goodyear says this research will hopefully achieve a balance.   It is a 7 year project that will cover all areas of Canada's Arctic.
