The municipal operating environment is becoming more and more complex. Staff and Councils in small NWT communities often need expert advice to administer their operations. The NWTAC is helping meet those challenges with three programs providing professional advice to communities in major fields of municipal management.
All advisory services are confidential, with no reporting back to the NWTAC or NCIP other than general statistics.
