The Canadian High Arctic research Station (CHARS) is a centre for science and technology in the Canadian North, located in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut.

The centre will house advanced laboratories, workshops, and a knowledge sharing centre. These will promote and preserve the local culture and engage scientists from around the world.
