When you are eating out, try a northern specialty. Fresh whitefish, arctic char, lake trout, pike and pickerel are often on the menu. Muskox, bison and caribou are also northern delicacies.
How To Get Here
There are excellent air and road connections to the Northwest Territories. Jets connect Yellowknife with Edmonton or Calgary six times a day. The hour and a half trip from Edmonton crosses Great Slave Lake and Yellowknife Bay. There are flights from Ottawa, Ontario several times a week, crossing the Canadian Arctic. Direct flights from Vancouver, British Columbia operate during the winter season. From Yellowknife, passengers can connect to regional services, or travel on to major airports in the Mackenzie Valley.
