A programme of economic development : east coast of Ungava Bay / by J.W. Evans.: R74-46/1958E-PDF

"This report does not present an all-inclusive development plan. There are a great many details of organization and planning that have yet to be worked out. However, it is necessary at some point in the planning to set out the general pattern of development. This is the point. The preliminary economic survey of the Ungava Bay area indicated the necessity of developing the local Eskimo economy on a regional basis. Relatively large concentrations of natural resources are found throughout the area, yet most of these resources are either neglected, harvested uneconomically or used in a most inefficient manner. Moreover, economic development is severely handicapped by a lack of cash. During the summer of 1958, a field investigation was made by Mr. J. Evans of the Development Section into the possibility of economic development in the George River and Port Burwell areas. This paper combines a report of field study, market research pertaining to the sale of products from the area and a plan for economic development"--Introduction.
