About our Northwest Territories news

Latest news on the Northwest Territories, one of the thirteen provinces and territories of Canada. It is the largest of Canada's three territories and spans over 1.3 million square kilometres, making it larger than any US state or any country in Europe. The geography of the Northwest Territories is dominated by the Canadian Shield, a vast rocky plateau dotted with lakes and forests. The territory is also home to the Mackenzie Mountains, the largest mountain range in Canada, as well as the Arctic tundra in the far north. The capital of the Northwest Territories is Yellowknife, located on the northern shore of Great Slave Lake.
