The NOR-MAN RHA region has three distinct types of communities:

(1) First Nations Communities;

(2) Northern Affairs Communities; and

(3) Cities, Towns and Municipalities.

First Nation’s communities are located on Reserve lands and are governed locally by Chief and Council, under the jurisdiction of the federal government. Aboriginal and Northern Affairs communities are governed by a local community council under the jurisdiction of the provincial Northern Affairs Act. Cities, towns and municipalities are under provincial jurisdiction and typically are incorporated and governed by a Mayor and Council or Reeve and Council. The information in the table below provides an overview of the communities in the NOR-MAN RHA region by community type.
