The Canadian Rangers

The size and inaccessibility of the northern regions of Canada present challenges in terms of both sovereignty and security. The Canadian Rangers, which forms a section of the militia Canadian Forces Reserves, are crucial in protecting this region. Enlisting many Aboriginal people, who have a vast knowledge of the area, the Rangers patrol the area between Resolute and the Magnetic North Pole, using ATVs in the summer and snowmobiles in the winter, and they ensure that Canada’s Arctic regions remain safe and part of the country.
