the North from Canada is a subarctic and arctic region grouping together the three Canadian territories: the Yukon, the Northwest Territories and the Nunavut. Very sparsely populated, with large wilderness, exceptional flora and fauna and immense natural resources, this region is also the ancestral land of the Inuit and several First Nations (Amerindians).

Understand

The Canadian North is a very large region covering different environments, ranging from the boreal forest to the mountains and from the subarctic climate to the arctic climate. It is one of the most remote places in the world, but, make no mistake, people live there. Travel in Canada's North is difficult and expensive. The majority of people visit it during the summer when the territories are not plunged into almost constant darkness, snow and sub-freezing temperatures. No matter the season, visiting Canada's North is a remarkable and unforgettable experience!
