All 33 NWT communities are surrounded by wilderness and water where swimming and fishing are abundant - whether it’s a river, lake, or the Arctic Ocean. Northerners enjoy year-round outdoor activities ranging from canoeing and camping in the summer to pond hockey and cross-country skiing in the winter. NWT residents enjoy some of the shortest commutes in Canada - often no more than five to 10 minutes walking, biking, or driving. In the summer, we enjoy up to 24 hours of sunlight.
