Why this is the answer
From the official Discover Canada study guide — 10.6.6 The Canadian Rangers:
Canada's enormous north raises challenges of security and sovereignty. The Canadian Rangers help meet them. They belong to the Canadian Forces Reserves, also called the militia. The region is isolated and the weather is harsh, so the Rangers draw on indigenous knowledge and long experience. In winter they travel by snowmobile, and in summer they use all-terrain vehicles. Their patrols run from Resolute up to the Magnetic North Pole. By being present, they keep the flag flying in Canada's Arctic.
