Douglas Yallee Mayor of the Hamlet of Tulita Quick Facts Located in the southwestern portion of the Sahtu Settlement, Nááts'įhch'oh National Park Reserve is in the traditional lands of the Shúhtaot'ine (Mountain Dene). Many dedicated people from the Sahtu Dene and Métis of the Tulita District, as well as from the federal and territorial governments, helped create the Park, which was formally established under the Canada National Parks Act in December 2014.

It is a place where wildlife can thrive, and traditional harvesting can continue for future generations. The construction contract has been formally awarded to Northern Industrial Construction, based in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, following a competitive solicitation process. The construction and management of the building will provide economic opportunities and benefits to Indigenous communities. The building design meets energy efficiency standards of the Government's Greening Government Strategy for low carbon emissions and is predicted to deliver an 89% reduction of operational greenhouse gas emissions, as compared to minimum code requirements, over its 40-year life cycle.

Asia Platinum inks 3 strategic MOUs to expedite ESG, green investments across ASEAN, GCC nations
IMPACT investment and advisory outfit Asia Platinum Capital Bhd (APC) marked a major milestone on May 25 by sealing three strategic memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with leading regional and international partners in the ESG (environment, social and governance) and sustainable investment space. Held in conjunction with the ASEAN Leadership & Partnership Forum 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, the event aimed to drive forward regional transformation in climate finance, next-generation technologies and ESG integration across ASEAN and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Three key partnerships were established with: South Pole: APC's partnership with the Swiss climate solutions consultant focuses on the development of high-integrity carbon assets across the ASEAN region that could contribute towards climate finance into nature and innovation projects that will drive measurable climate impact. Group KS & EDENA: A strategic alliance to collaborate in the formation of an international consortium for the establishment of a proposed Malaysia's first STO (security token offering) exchange with a specific focus on ASEAN carbon credit tokenization and integrating Islamic finance principles. Integral Omni Inspire: This collaboration focuses on delivering ESG solutions and technologies tailored for markets across ASEAN and GCC countries, hence reinforcing APC's ambition for global ESG leadership. 'Each of these partnerships reflects our firm belief that technology and smart partnerships are key to unlocking the true potential of ESG transformation across the region,' commented APC's CEO Ramlie Kamsari who possesses 25 years of experience in capital market, Islamic finance and sustainable investment. 'We are honoured to work alongside visionary partners who share our long-term commitment to creating carbon wealth, impact investment and inclusive green development.' South Pole's regional director (climate projects for SEA & Oceania) Ladaporn Khunikakorn expects the partnership with APC to supports South Pole's mission to deliver true climate impact by leveraging the power of carbon markets and accelerating much needed low-carbon transformations. Group KS & Edena Capital Partners co-CEO Wook Lee hops its alliance with APC will make Malaysia as ASEAN's premier hub for carbon credit tokenisation, thus creating a first-of-its-kind STO exchange that bridges traditional finance with blockchain innovation. 'By integrating Islamic finance principles with advanced tokenisation technology, we're building a regulatory-compliant platform that will democratize access to sustainable investments while unlocking premium value for ASEAN's assets on the global stage,' he envisages. Finally, Integral Omni Inspire CEO Harry Lim is looking forward to localise advanced technologies that address real environmental challenges while creating value for communities, businesses and governments alike through its partnership with APC. – May 26, 2035
