Led by the Premiers of Yukon and Saskatchewan, the initiative is called Promising Practices. With input from all provinces, territories and the Council of the Federation (COF) Secretariat, the goal is to encourage innovation and collaboration between governments and non-governmental organizations. Each episode features innovations in rural, remote and northern communities from across the country.
