If you have a link that you think should be included on this page, please complete the Add a Site form.

Location Of Northwest Territories
The Northwest Territories stretch from the Mackenzie Mountains on the Yukon border to the open barren lands to the east, from the shores and islands of the Arctic Ocean to the woodlands in the south. Canada’s longest river, the Mackenzie, flows 1125 miles from Great Slave Lake to its delta on the Beaufort Sea.

Airports
Yellowknife Airport is less than 0.6 miles from the town centre and the travel time is around 10 minutes. International visitors will need to fly to Calgary or Edmonton (in Alberta) or Winnipeg (in Manitoba) and board a domestic flight to Yellowknife.

Language
Although Canada is officially bilingual (English and French), English is more commonly spoken in the Northwest Territories.

Places To Go
Most of the province’s population and commercial activity is based in Yellowknife and around the Great Slave Lake. Aboriginal people living a more traditional way of life largely populate the smaller communities to the north of Yellowknife.
