If you’re still planning your trip to see the Northern Lights, here’s a review you might find helpful:

visited Yellowknife and shared her thoughts: "Yellowknife, NWT. From ice fishing, snowmobiling, and dog sledding, to learning about Indigenous Dene culture, aurora hunting, and late-night espresso martinis (so we could stay up to catch the aurora), Canada’s north is pure magic."

Our Story

We’re a place from the pages of history: a place that still lives free and wild. Big and big-hearted. Full of adventure and discovery. And more accessible than you think.

The Northwest Territories is the last corner of North America to be tamed – home to the biggest and deepest lakes, the highest waterfalls, the fabled Northwest Passage, the forbidding Barrenlands, and so much more.

It is home to people with deep roots, diverse cultures, hearty handshakes, and spellbinding stories. In our small towns, ancient ways still rule – and our cities burst with frontier spirit.

History is all around us – from the Ice Age-era muskoxen, to the traditions that have been followed since time immemorial, to the historic sites of Dene, Inuvialuit, fur-traders, bush pilots, miners and more.
