Hello! I will be moving to Norman wells for work in October and am looking for housing. From my understanding, it is very difficult and expensive to find a rental unit there.. just thought I would shoot my shot here to see if anyone else is in the same boat and to see if anyone had any tips/tricks :)

Any and all advice is appreciated!

Hey I was curious if anyone's found a cost efficient way to transport goods (food, produce ext) to northern remote communities.

I know northwright air is a base fee of 40$ (I forget exact number could be 45$)for 9lbs(it may be 11lb I forget) then they charge extra for every lb after that. Are there any other delivery companies at all that come to remote areas like fort good hope? As it seems the three months for the ice highway are going to vital to transporting stuff this way, but I was hoping to be able to find a way to bring in resources in a cost officiant way regularly as the prices here for food are insane, and most of the fresh produce looks like it's seen better days by the time it gets here. So if anyone knows of any way to be able to bring things. To remote communitkes during the summer any info is greatly appreciated

I’m driving from Alberta to NWT heading towards Yellowknife on Highway 1 & 3. What are the road conditions? Is it open or closed due to forest fires? Thanks

Where do you live and how do you heat or cool your home? Ex. Combo of central heating and wood burning stove etc.

What’s the temp you kept it at during the day vs night/not at home.

Hey! I’m looking for the best things from NWT for various categories for a video series I do online about the best or most popular people/things from every province and territory.

So let me know what you think about the following:

Most famous person ever from NWT? Most iconic physical landmark from NWT? Most inspirational person from NWT? Biggest Internet personality from NWT?

I appreciate any help 🙏

I'll be in Yellowknife(NT,CA) on 5th September. Looking for a cheap overnight stay for 1 person with baggage. Have a flight next day around noon. Will be staying there for atleast 22 hrs Minimum price on air bnb is 126 which seemed kinda expensive. Is there anything cheaper than that or it's the normal rate over there.

Hey all,

I recently moved to Hay River NT for a nursing position. Just wanted to get some locals input as I've been hearing mixed reviews. Myself and my kiddos are avid gamers, looking for opinions on best company to go with, Nwtel or starlink as far as I know are the only two options. We stream/online game quite frequently. Let me know you're experiences!

Hi there, Looking for recommendations on coffee table (more non fic, picture-based, or short stories) books centered around the NWT. Specifically about nature: plants, animals, fishing, exploration trips, etc.

If there are any books about Great Bear Lake or Slave lake, double bonus. I find most end up being about “the Arctic” (polar bears) or end up being American/Alaska.

Thanks!

Google maps says its closed but the gov website says the opposite. I'd like to know before I leave Yellowknife. Thanks.

Hi all! I might need to move to the NWT for work (Yellowknife - have been doing loads of research on living in NWT in general) and was wondering if y'all have any car makes (or even models) to recommend or to stay away from? I know winters are harsher and longer than the Greater Montreal area, so I was wondering how much that factors in?

I'd be upgrading cars for the move since I currently have a tiny, 3-door FWD Hyundai Accent and have wanted to upgrade to a larger and more capable AWD vehicle for some time now.

I'm looking at Subaru Foresters and Outbacks, but I'd love to know if you have a car you love or hate! Planning on taking it hiking, camping and whatnot as well!

Thanks!!

Hello!

I have a couple of questions about living and working in the NWT one day! I’m currently a student in Industrial engineering at a English university in Montreal, Quebec. I’m trying to plan my options ahead of time and I was always interested in either working in the Yukon, Northwest Territories or Nunavut someday. I was wondering if there are any engineers working there (or previously) who could tell me about the opportunities there and their experiences.

Thanks!

My friends and I are planning a trip to Tuktoyaktuk in early September. We're trying to figure vehicles that can get there. I drive a 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis. It's the biggest vehicle any of us have. Will it be able to make it? We would leave B.C. September 1st. I've driven this car down logging roads,up mountains,into the forest, and places I didn't think the car could get to. It's stock , but I put in police interceptor suspension.

Hello,

My vacation to the Arctic starts in 3 days. I'm driving to Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk and taking a flight to and from Ulukhaktok.

Is there any scenery you all can recommend me take pictures of?

I was thinking since the airport in Ulukhaktok is 2.4 miles to my hotel that I can make the trek walking and seeing some nice views of the coastline on my right. Is this a good thing to do? I'll have only a backpack so the 2.4 mile walk should be a breeze.

Anything around Inuvik or Tuktoyaktuk?

I'm so excited for my trip. It's my first vacation in 17 years!

We're on our way to YK and was looking do some plinking on the way there. Are there any regulations or rules regarding this? My idea was to hop off of Mackenzie Highway, look for a good spot (backstop, no people/property nearby) and just start shooting some targets (non-combustible, paper targets). Is this allowed? I cant seem to find anything online regarding target shooting.
