He said those conditions, together with recent uncertainty around the future of Imperial Oil’s Norman Wells oil field, have created a “perfect storm” that is negatively impacting every aspect of Norman Wells’ economy. The Norman Wells mayor said he is also hoping the federal government will commit to providing similar support in the future if low water levels on the Mackenzie River continue to prevent Norman Wells from resupplying by barge.
