This is great idea, and if it saves one life it is well worth the cost.

How did you go to the Nahanni National Park ?

Hello!

Are you a mother who’s given birth in the past five years? Your experiences could be pivotal in improving maternal healthcare across Canada.

I’m Kimberley, a graduate student , specializing in Health Services Management. Under the guidance of my supervisor, my thesis focuses on understanding the quality of maternal care and exploring the experiences of mothers nationwide. As a graduate student working without funding, I’m driven by a passion for better data collection to improve maternal health outcomes, especially in an area where data is limited.

This study involves a mixed-methods approach, beginning with a 35-item Person-Centred Maternity Care (PCMC) scale survey and followed by demographic questions.

If you’re interested in participating, please comment "1" and I will contact you shortly! And if you know any other mothers who may be eligible, please feel free to share with your networks!

Thank you for considering sharing your story to support this important work!

There is a bill being tabled by Edmonton-Strathcona MP, Ms. Heather McPherson to establish a National Framework on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

The plan goes as follows:

(a) To provide for the development of resources to help individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and their families better recognize, understand and manage the disorder;

(b) ensure that educators are equipped with the knowledge, training and resources needed to support students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and related learning comorbid disorders;

(c) improve training for medical and mental health practitioners on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder;

(d) ensure that all medical and mental health practitioners can access training and support in relation to evidence-based approaches to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder assessment and treatment; and

(e) facilitate equitable access for individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and their families to medical and mental health practitioners who have received training on this disorder.

Good morning!

My husband's band played for the 2024 BTJ back in March, we've submitted a quote to play for 2025.

For those who were at the jamboree dance, was there any areas of concern that needed improvements from the band? Was there any song requests for the band to learn before next year's dance they should get into learning?

We absolutely loved the community of Fort Simpson and enjoyed our stay, it was a very welcoming community and while very cold it was very beautiful sights to see!

If we get selected again for this next March, is there any local sites and attractions we should check out?

Thanks in advance. Xo

Hi!

I am planning to rent an apartment in inuvik. What are some companies to look into for insurance. How much do you pay? Thanks in advance.

Lots of moving parts to look at with this review. Hopefully the final report has some visuals to help understand some of them. The share price of NWC over the time frame involved would make a great graphic... pics of who sat on the original advisory board would be another.

I'm just curious as to what everyone else is paying. I'm situated in Inuvik and currently pay $240 per month. 30 year old home.

Hello,

It is my understanding that there is a crown land you can camp on in the South Slave region, but I'm struggling to find a good map on where the crown land is, and can't find anything in the way of resources for where good spots are.

We're traveling through the area next month and want to be as frugal as possible. (And yes, we are experienced cold weather campers- have done backcountry in -40, have all the right gear, satellite phone, etc).

Also would appreciate info on rest stops you can stay at overnight, etc. We are able to sleep in our vehicle (and tend to do that for efficiency's sake anyway if traveling in it)

Thanks!

Howdy everybody, I hope this post finds you doing well.

I have just departed from British Columbia to France in order to teach English, during which I'll also have the chance to share bits and pieces about Canada. To this end, I am looking to create a map of Canada with pictures showing different parts of the country.

I was wondering if I would be able to get some postcards from different communities from around the Northwest Territories to add to the map. I am interested in pictures of either cities/towns, landmarks, and/or anything in general that depicts the territory (territories? I don't know how y'all call it). I would of course be paying for the postcard, as well as for the postage itself.

Please DM me if you would be interested in participating in this.

Thanks again, and have a wonderful day!

(P.S. Yes I am doing the tour of provincial and territorial subs with this exact post. I want to cover all of Canada after all).

Interesting use of the word "must" when taken in the perspective that 8 years ago Justin Trudeau unilaterally placed a 5 year moratorium on offshore development within the Beaufort Sea, with no notice or involvement of the Inuvialuit whatsoever in that decision.

I'm looking to book a trip to Inuvik (leaving Halifax) from June 7th to the 21st for myself and my folks. As of now I can find flights for roughly $2100 a person. I'm wondering if this is a fair price? Do flights get cheaper?

Also looking for recommendations on what to see and what to do while we're there.

Any help would be appreciated

Very glad to see this come to fruition.

Going to Inuvik this week for work. Have been many times (10 times?) but not since 2020. Can anyone tell me what’s open for restaurants? I’m assuming Shivers and the Roost are open. Anything new since 2020? I’ve been to Alestines but not sure I’ll have time for that.

Morning r/NWT. I moved here in April, days are getting shorter and I'm looking to get ready for my first winter in the territory.

I have a good network of friends so the socialization box will be ticked. Some folks have mentioned some suppliments to counteract the lack of sunlight.

Wondering what regime you start when winter hits to keep the energy and mood up? I've heard a "happy light" is useful, but it seems gimmicky. Any advice is appreciated!

I just read an article on the CBC about the opening of a new fish processing plant in Hay River.

It didn't mention the type of fish they will be processing. Anyone know?

I'm always interested in buying fresh fish directly from the source....

Hi, I would appreciate some help in finding accomodations in hay river. I am searching but would also appreciate help. I'd also appreciate general advice since this will be my first time. Thanks

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!
