Look up to see the magical northern lights in the Northwest Territories, where they’re on view almost 250 nights a year. Canada’s longest river, highest waterfall, largest lake and deepest lake – they’re all here in this spectacular land.
Find serenity and exhilaration on the rivers and lakes and experience the thrill of hiking beneath towering mountains. Whether you travel by foot or canoe, plane or dogsled, you’ll see sights you’ve never seen before.
Business in the Northwest Territories is looking good. Mining, oil and natural gas, construction, tourism, forestry and fisheries are all key contributors to the territory’s GDP which was $3.8 billion in 2005. The territory’s scheduled marine service extends more than 5,000 kilometres, linking the entire Mackenzie River and Arctic Ocean to Canada’s rail and highway system.
