Bio/Historical Note: The Arctic Research and Training Centre (ARTC) was opened 12 October 1969 at Rankin Inlet, Northwest Territories. Arguments in support of creating an arctic research centre were twofold: first, the need for Canadians to more thoroughly understand their northern territories; and second, that such knowledge “cannot be attained by means of superficial impressionism, nor even by the efforts of research people making short-lived trips into the North during the university summer holidays. In all relevant fields, on-going, integrated and perhaps even co-ordinated long-term, year-round research is a vital necessity. Neither government policies nor economic development can be advanced with efficiency and certainty...on the basis of existing fragmentary and inadequate knowledge.” The centre provided accommodation, logistical support, and consultative services to scientists from North America and Europe. Research was wide-ranging and multi-disciplinary. The centre also supported research activities undertaken by the University’s Institute for Northern Studies, and degree courses during summer school were offered for credit, including Inuktitut, Contemporary Anthropology, and Arctic Geography. Graduate research was supported via “Musk-Ox scholarships” and “Arctic bursaries.” The centre closed in [1981].:
