After decades of growth fueled by diamond mining, the Northwest Territories of Canada are confronting the impending closure of three significant mines.
This situation has raised questions about the future economic landscape of the region, which has heavily relied on the diamond industry for its development and prosperity.
As the mines prepare to cease operations, local communities and stakeholders are exploring alternative avenues for economic sustainability and diversification.
The closures highlight the broader challenges facing resource-dependent regions as they seek to adapt to changing market conditions and the eventual depletion of natural resources.
