The $2.6 million are for the Canadian Armed Forces Arctic training centre at Resolute Bay. Most of the military activities involve the army. That is its training base. That said, the centre is close to the sea and accessible for the air force. The centre’s role is to support training efforts in the area, including the Canadian Rangers.
The $2.6 million includes an amount of about $1 million to support Natural Resources Canada’s programs. The training centre is actually a joint facility, a project in partnership with Natural Resources Canada, which explains why resources are being transferred.
There are also costs for building maintenance, operations, and so on.
Finally, some funds are allocated for improvements scheduled during the period covered by the budget.
