The End of Boom Towns: The Rise of Fly-In/Fly-Out Mining Camps and Implications for Community and Regional Development in the Canadian North

The potential issues and challenges for sustainable community and regional development in the north indicate a need for senior levels of government to begin thinking about establishing regulations for the use of fly-in/fly-out resource camps.
