This week, representatives from the northern country of Greenland will journey to Newfoundland and Labrador to find out what this province can offer them in their efforts to grow their economy. Greenland - the only country in the world with an Inuit majority - is a new land of opportunity, especially for businesses from here. Companies are lining up to mine Greenland's offshore for oil, and the melting ice cap, for minerals.
CBC network producer Marie Wadden recently visited Nuuk, Greenland's capital, to talk to politicians, business leaders and regular people to find out what they think of oil and gas development and what role they see Newfoundland and Labrador playing.
Wadden has prepared a five-part series for radio, scheduled to run this week on local Newfoundland and Labrador morning shows. Each piece will be presented here after it is aired. Here & Now will air a two-part series on Tuesday.
