Commander’s Welcome
Welcome to Canada’s North! Our teams support Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) people and
their families across the 3 Territories. We plan, conduct, and support operations and exercises
in the largest CAF region in Canada. A variety of opportunities exist here. Joint Task Force
(North) (JTFN) is the command element, located in Yellowknife with detachments in both
Whitehorse and Iqaluit. JTFN is proud of its motto: Custos Borealis, or Guardians of the
North. Also in Yellowknife are the Area Support Unit (ASU), the Royal Canadian Air
Force’s 440 Transport Squadron (home of the Vampires), and the headquarters of the
Canadian Army’s 1st Canadian Ranger Patrol Group, which oversees 1750 Rangers across 60
northern communities as well as over 1600 Junior Canadian Rangers. Additionally, we are
home to the Army Reserve’s Loyal Edmonton Regiment as well as Cadet Corps in a number
of locales. Together, we are Team North, and we cover a lot of ground. This capable, closeknit team brings together talent from all corners of the Canadian Armed Forces and affords
us and our families the chance to experience a part of Canada that very few get to enjoy.
These are exciting times in our Arctic. I invite you to join us and be part of Team North.
Custos Borealis
Brigadier-General Gregory Loos

Welcome to the North
The Advisory Committee and Staff at the North of 60 MFRC extend a warm welcome to you
and your family to the North.
One of our goals is to assist military families with their transition to their new home, and as
such we are available to help you and your family access information about your new
community and the North. The North of 60 Posting Handbook and Welcome Package will
provide you with detailed information about programs and services available in the North.
We encourage you to visit our website at www.familyforce.ca or join our Facebook group at
Mfrc North. The latest MFRC information is available on both sites, and is a great tool for
you to keep up with what’s happening at your new MFRC.
For those of you posted with young children, it is advisable to look for childcare spaces
immediately as, like many locations in Canada; there is a shortage of available childcare
spaces in the North. A list of licensed daycares and day homes is available from your MFRC
staff.
We would love to know when you arrive in the North and how you are settling in. Please
send us your contact information to director.mfrc@northwestell.net or 873-0700 ext.
6998.
For those posted to Yellowknife, we encourage you to stop by the North of 60 MFRC for a
visit; we'd love to meet you.
Once again, welcome to the North! We hope you enjoy your stay and we look forward
serving your family.

About Yellowknife
Yellowknife, the capital city of the Northwest Territories, is a young, vibrant and growing
city with a population of 19,711. Yellowknife is located on the North Arm of Great Slave
Lake 512 km south of the Arctic Circle, 965 kilometres by air and 1,500 kilometres by road
from Edmonton, the main supply point for the area. The Mackenzie Highway is an allweather road (mostly paved) that connects to major highway systems in Alberta and B.C.
Four major airlines, First Air, Air Canada, WestJet and Canadian North have several daily
flights in and out of Yellowknife. There are also many local airlines and charters.
The region north of the Great Slave Lake, has for centuries, been home to the Dogrib Nation
who are comprised of three Dene groups; the Chipewyan, the Slavey and the Yellowknives.
They refer to themselves as Dene (Deh-neh), which means “the people”. There are six
official indigenous languages, some with multiple dialects, and two national languages
within the Northwest Territories.
Our capital city serves as the primary government and administrative centre, providing
health, justice and education services to all residents of NT. Major industries for the
community and region include government, mining, transportation and communications,
financial and commercial services, tourism, manufacturing and fishing.
Yellowknife enjoys a very dry climate. Annual precipitation averages about 15 cm rainfall
and 135 cm snowfall. Temperatures average between -35 Celsius in January to +21 Celsius
in July. In June/July there is an average of 22 hours of sunlight per day. Daylight in the
winter (late December) is reduced to about four hours per day.
Yellowknife is still within the tree line. There is a great deal of coniferous trees, although
they are smaller than you are used to seeing. Because we are located on the Pre-Cambrian
Shield, there is a great deal of rock, which tends to give the land a rugged, harsh, craggy
look. This, combined with the stillness of the air, makes for a very tranquil setting.
Yellowknife's communication services include; cable television, digital cable, satellite radio
and television, paper media, internet (dial up and high speed) from a host of providers.
Yellowknife hosts a myriad of good restaurants, ranging from coffee shops to full-service
dining lounges. Several have gained prominence with visitors, namely the Wildcat Cafe and
the Gold Range Cafe (giant egg rolls). Most ethnic foods are available.

About Joint Task Force North (JTFN)
Situated in Yellowknife, the capital of the Northwest Territories, Canadian Forces Northern
Area (CFNA) was formed on 15 May 1970 to assist in maintaining Canadian sovereignty and
to support Canadian Forces activities in the North. In February 2006 CFNA became JTFN. In
January 2009 JTFN formalized the separation of the Commander’s Joint Staff and support
elements in the North resulting in the creation of Area Support Unit (North).
JTFN will contribute to the defence of Canada by providing a Canadian Forces presence in
the Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. It is an immense area, covering almost
four million square kilometres of land. We stand as the image of the CF in the North. As a
group of highly professional and dedicated service personnel, we take great pride in our
ability to accomplish our mission under the most severe weather conditions Canada has to
offer. JTFN HQ is a joint headquarters capable of coordinating, supporting and conducting
operations in the most unique theatre in Canada.
The JTFN complement includes approximately 271 military and civilian personnel. The
units within the JTFN area are: JTFN HQ Yellowknife; the HQ Detachment in Whitehorse;
HQ Detachment in Iqaluit; Area Support Unit North ASU (N); and 1 Canadian Ranger Patrol
Group; (all, with the exception of Det Whitehorse and Det Iqaluit, are located in
Yellowknife). There is also one lodger unit from 17 Wing Winnipeg, 440 Transportation
Squadron, situated in Yellowknife with a compliment of 56 personnel. Due to the relatively
small size of the organization, each individual is necessarily a specialist in his or her own
field. In addition to their significant contribution to Canada's Northern Defence Policy,
JTFN personnel are afforded the unique opportunity to explore and experience living in this
exciting and rapidly developing part of our nation.
Lot 50 -- the site of JTFN HQ -- is named "The Evans Block" and the HQ building is called
"the Evans Building" in memory of Lieutenant-Colonel T.D.B. Evans, C.B., Commander of
the Yukon Field Force, of 1898-1899, which was the first Canadian military unit in operation
‘North of 60’. The JTFN HQ motto Custos Borealis means Guardians of the North.
Messes and Institutions
JTFN Yellowknife operates two messes: the Ravens’ Nest for NCMs and the Bears’ Den for
Officers.
CAF Medical Services
For military members, a Medical Officer (MO), a Physician Assistant (PA), one Medical
Technician and a Civilian clerk staff the1 Fd Amb Yellowknife Det. CFB/ASU Edmonton is
our support base for second line medical services.
Family members will be well provided for in the civilian community. There is a large,
modern hospital and several medical clinics in the city. Medical emergencies, beyond the
scope of the Stanton General Hospital facilities, are normally evacuated to Edmonton.
8
There are a number of family doctors in the city, as well as a gynaecologist, general surgeon,
radiologist, internists, paediatrician, ophthalmologist, along with all the supporting personnel
required to staff the 136 bed territorial hospital.
Dental services are more than adequate. There are several dental clinics in the city, as well
as an orthodontist.
Optical supplies and services are available with several optical companies offering
reasonably prompt and efficient service.
There are five pharmacies in the city.
It is strongly recommended that families have both PSHCP and CF Dental plan for
dependants as without these plans, costs are very high.
Call the MIR, CSN 766-6863 if you have any queries about the medical/dental care available
to you and your dependants.
Accommodations
Notes for Single Personnel - Normally, single personnel are provided with a one-bedroom
apartment from PWGSC, assigned by CFHA from the Housing Pool. It has a kitchen/living
room (fridge and stove provided), one bedroom, bathroom and small storage room. A coinoperated laundry facility is provided on site. Each apartment is assigned one energized
parking stall. An outside bike lock-up is also included. Parking for additional vehicles or
recreational vehicle is not generally available. The average one bedroom unit is approx. 500
square feet in area.
If available you will receive an offer from CFHA and be notified by accommodation
confirmation message. Pets are not allowed in Single Housing in Yellowknife unless they
are in a cage or tank. For further information, you are strongly encouraged to contact CFHA
(Edmonton) at CSN 528-4357 or (780) 973-4011 ext 4357.
CFHA Edmonton administers your accommodation requirements in Yellowknife from the
Northern Housing Pool managed by PWGSC. There is no Government housing units or
PMQs available in Whitehorse.
This pool of housing consists of approximately 122 units allocated to DND which are located
throughout the city in a variety of sizes and floor plans.
CFHA requests your housing assignment from PWGSC based upon the best available
quarters that meets your entitlement in accordance with CFAO 208-1. This selection will be
made upon receipt of your married quarter (MQ) request message, which should be sent to
the CFHA Edmonton Office by your IRP consultant with an info copy to JTFN HQ
Yellowknife. You will be advised as soon as possible of the address, size, cost and number
of bedrooms of your assigned accommodation. Your movement restriction will be lifted
upon acceptance of the assigned accommodation.
9
An average size of three-bedroom unit is 1200 square feet; four-bedroom is 1500 square feet.
An average apartment size is 500 square feet. Parking is provided for one vehicle per
household.
LTS (Long Term Storage) policies and procedures
According to the DCBS’s clarification provided below, you might be entitled upon posting to
Yellowknife to LTS. The intent of this classification is to give you the steps to follow in
order to facilitate your process.
References:
A. Canadian Forces Integration Relocation Policy (CFIRP) 2009-2013
B. Compensation and Benefit Instructions (CBI) 208.801
C. National Joint Council Directives (NJC) 2007 Appendix A
1. The weight of the HG&E shipment to Yellowknife is not restricted and therefore there is
no automatic entitlement to LTS. Further, personnel have the option of purchasing a
residence on posting to Yellowknife. However, DCBA understands that most rental
residences in Yellowknife (including PWGSC-controlled housing) are limited in size and
will often not accommodate all HG&E, Additionally, Yellowknife is typically a limited-tour
posting where purchasing a residence is neither practical nor common practice. For those
reasons, DCBA will – on a case by case basis – consider approving LTS at the losing unit
location in Canada when posted to Yellowknife. As there is no provision in the CFIRP for
LTS on posting to Yellowknife, the DCBA must personally approve each request using the
approval authority delegated to him under CFIRP 2.1.01.
2. Any request for LTS on posing must be submitted through the local CF Relocation Coord
(http://cmpcpm.forced.mil.ca/dgcb/dcba/irpp/engraph/contact_e.asp?sidesection=2&sidecat=99) to
the DCBA 2 Adjudications cell IAW the process described at CFIRP Art 1.3.03. It is
important that the process be started early, as soon as it is determined that the rental
residence secured in Yellowknife will not accommodate all HG&E. It should include such
information as the rough square footage of the current residence, the rough footage of the
Yellowknife rental unit, the estimated amount of HG&E owned, plus any other relevant
information that may support the request (including whether or not it is a PWGSC –
controlled unit). Note that LTS will not normally be considered in cases where a member is
purchasing a residence in Yellowknife as the member has greater control over the square
footage of the new residence.
3. As noted above, LTS will only be considered at origin, not at destination (Yellowknife).
Therefore the request cannot be entertained once the HG&E is packed/loaded. The earlier the
request, thee better. When submitting the adjudication request, the CF Relocation Coord
should mark the adjudication request email as urgent, and include “LTS on posting to
Yellowknife” in the subject line.
The majority of JTFN HQ personnel have elected to live in pool housing and, for the most
part, is of the townhouse variety. Pictures of examples of the housing units available are
10
presented below. Note that there are no furnished MQs available in Yellowknife. However,
fridges and stoves are always included. As well, note that ALL HOUSING ASSIGNED BY
CFHA IS SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY. During APS, it may take a number of
weeks for houses to be vacated; therefore new housing assignments may be delayed for
this process to take place.
If you choose not to accept an MQ/SQ, Yellowknife has a viable housing market, however,
be advised that rental accommodation is scarce and very expensive. For example, the rental
charge for a three-bedroom house or trailer, if available, will range from $1800.00 - $2400.00
per month, not including utilities. For a one-bedroom apartment, the rents will range from
$1,200.00 - $1800.00 per month, not including utilities. Personnel considering renting or
purchasing accommodations may obtain information on the Yellowknife Housing Market by
contacting their sponsor.
No doubt, there may be many questions about your accommodations, floor plan, window
sizes, parking, basement, storage space etc. This information may be obtained by contacting
your sponsor.
Once your housing is approved, make sure to call the Housing Clerk at least five days in
advance of your travel to arrange a march-in appointment.

Finances and Benefits
Recent surveys indicate Yellowknife has the 3rd most expensive, and fastest growing,
economy in Canada, following only Vancouver and Toronto. According to 2011 NWT
Bureau of Statistics report, the average annual 'family' income in Yellowknife is $145,706,
while the average personal income is $67,629.
The higher cost of living is quickly evident while purchasing goods and services at gas
stations, grocery stores, and restaurants. Transportation, staff, and overhead costs drive the
prices up in comparison to our southern counterparts.
The further north you go, the more expensive it gets. The railway only goes as far as Hay
River, in the Territories, which is located on the south shore of Great Slave Lake. The
elevated cost of living is offset, however, by some of the allowances to which you are
entitled. If you shop around for bargains, you will also be able to keep costs down.
Car dealerships and garages are at a premium; consequently labour prices are high, quoting
rates between $100 - $120 per hour. The cost of parts will elevate if shipping is necessary,
which incidentally delays repair times.

Personnel posted to JTFN Yellowknife, ASU(N), Dets Yukon and Nunavut, 1 CRPG,
440(T) Sqn will receive Isolation Allowance (IsolA) and Northern Leave Travel Assistance
(NLTA).
As there is no Crown housing available in Whitehorse, all personnel will either rent or
purchase a residence on the economy.
In Iqaluit, there is no option of renting or purchasing on the economy. All individuals will
receive Government supplied housing
Isolation Allowance (CBI Chap 11)
Isolation Allowance is taxable, and consists of four major components. The first is an
Environmental Allowance (EA), based on community population, climate and accessibility.
The second component is a Living Cost Differential (LCD). It is, intended to compensate
members for the increased cost of goods and services at relevant locations. The third is the
Fuel and Utilities Differential (FUD), payable to personnel not provided fuel from
government sources. The fourth is the shelter cost differential Allowance (SCD); to help
offset the higher shelter charges at certain isolated posts.
IsolA monthly rates for Yellowknife, as of 01 Jan 14 are as follows (read across).

The calculation for married service couples or members married to a Federal employee is
slightly different, please contact JTFN HQ OR personnel for more information (867) 8730700 ext 6939.
Northern Leave Travel Assistance (NLTA)
Each member and his or her dependants posted to Yellowknife and Whitehorse, over the age
of two years (under two with receipts) are entitled to an annual trip out of the isolated post.
However for those posted to Iqaluit they are entitled to two trips per year. The benefit
referred to as an NLTA (Northern Leave Travel Assistance) trip. The concept is to provide
relief from the isolated post to the point of departure as detailed in CBI 11.4.01 and the
destination is the members’ choice. The rate of subsidization fluctuates, based on the return
economy airfare, from Yellowknife to Edmonton for Yellowknife, Whitehorse to Vancouver
for Whitehorse, and Iqaluit to Ottawa for Iqaluit.
12
Please note that single members posted to an Isolation Post are entitled to receive their Leave
Travel Allowance (LTA) benefits and their NLTA (both benefits). LTA is a separate benefit
with different policy. Please don’t hesitate to contact the ASU(N) OR staff for clarification.
Tax Benefits
There is no provincial sales tax in the NT or NU, however, there is a NT/NU payroll tax
which equates to 2% of your gross income. This tax is, offset by a NT/NU tax credit,
claimable by all personnel whose primary residence, as at 31 Dec., was in the NT/NU.
Screening and Your Posting to an Isolated Location
You and your family are coming to an Isolated Location. For you to be an effective member
of the JTFN team, there are a number of factors that must be assessed to ensure that you and
your family can be safely posted here. Canforgen 177/05 251819Z NOV 05 details the
requirements for a screening to an Isolated Post, the screening requirements for Dependants’
health and the requirements for Dependants’ dental.
In order for your posting to commence, all requirements detailed in the CANFORGEN listed
above, must be considered by the appropriate authorities at your losing unit. The main
reason for this is that there is limited access to medical and dental facilities in Yellowknife,
Whitehorse and Iqaluit and there are a number of health conditions that cannot be properly
addressed in these locations. Please ensure that a proper screening is performed on both
yourself and your family – it will help avoid unnecessary complications during your posting
to JTFN.
Sponsor Contact
Your sponsor will be appointed by your gaining unit/section. Your sponsor is responsible to:
a.
etc;
contact you ASAP to provide helpful hints, travelling tips, type of housing available,
b.
assist with/make appropriate interim accommodation bookings for the member and
family once an ETA message has been received; and
c.
escort and assist you during your "In Clearance" to the various sections of JTFN.
Be sure to ask your sponsor about operations in the North as well as Op tempos for your unit
and position.
All questions relating to your move are to be passed to the Orderly Room (OR) or Brookfield
Global Relocation Services (BGRS) office at the losing base, not to your sponsor. Please
contact the ASU(N) Orderly Room (867) 873-0700 ext 6939 if your sponsor has not
contacted you. They will take appropriate action to correct the situation.
Hours of Operation
The normal hours of operation of JTFN are 0800 -1630 hrs.
13
Reporting-in Procedures
All personnel posted to JTFN, including the members in Iqaluit, must report to the OR
located in the Joe Tobie Building at 5020-48th Street in dress-of-the-day (service or
base/garrison dress) to complete an ‘In-Clearance’ prior to reporting to their new place of
duty. Personnel posted to JTFN Detachment Whitehorse will clear in through the OR in
Whitehorse. This procedure is brief and your sponsor should be available to assist you.
For general inquiries the orderly Room phone number is: (867) 873-0700 ext 6939 / 6872 or
CSN 766-6939/6872.
JTFN Traffic Section
On arrival, you are required to contact the ASU(N) Traffic at (867) 873-0700 extension 6888,
regardless of your leave status. Traffic section performs the administration of the movement
of Household Goods and Effects (HG&E).
If furniture and effects arrive and you cannot be contacted within three hours, your F&E will
be placed in Storage-in-Transit (SIT). Removal from SIT will depend upon the carrier and
their schedule, and removal could be as long as five working days.
CAF Relocation Coordinator
CF Relocation Coordinator (CFIRP Coord):
Chief Clerk (CC), ASU(N), Joe Tobie Building, (867) 873-0700 ext 6871 or CSN 766-6871
As a Brookfield Global Relocation Advisor, we have the responsibility to ensure that when a
relocating member encounters problems he/she will not be left “adrift”, so to speak. Our role
is to work with and on behalf of the member, to help resolve issues that can arise on a daily
basis. This can alleviate unnecessary stress for a member.
During the relocation process, if a member encounters a problem, it is vital that he/she knows
there is someone there to assist in any way possible. As the Brookfield Global Relocation
Advisor, we are DCBA’s representative, We know that members are making financial
decisions based on information we are giving them. This is why it is important for the lines
of communication to be open and it is our responsibility to make this apparent not only to the
member but also to BGRS staff.
COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY IN THE RELOCATION PROCESS.
Yellowknife does not have a BGRS office on location. We deal directly with Shilo’s office
for all the postings in and out. We strongly suggest that transferees sign on to the BGRS
website which will allow them to open their file, view financial worksheets, request advances
and submit claims for review and payment process. Just click on CF members and follow the
instructions provided: http://www.irp-pri.com/.
In conclusion, keep in mind that we are the link between the member who is relocating,
BGRS and DCBA. We treat each case as if it was our own personal move. Members are
trying to make informed decisions that will best suit the move of their family; based on the
information they are given by BGRS. That is why we will always be available to respond to
all questions or problems regarding relocation.

Do not hesitate to contact us and Welcome to the Great White North.
Units
440 (Transport) Squadron
440 (Transport) Squadron prides itself as being the only permanently-stationed Squadron
north of the 60th parallel. Currently an integral unit of 17 Wing Winnipeg, Manitoba, the
Squadron has had a presence in Yellowknife since 1971. Initially consisting of a detachment
of two aircraft and associated personnel from the main body in 18 Wing Edmonton, the
Squadron moved completely to Yellowknife in 1994 with the closure of that Wing.
With it’s current contingent of four CC138 Twin Otter aircraft, the Squadron’s primary role
is to provide air transport operations, primarily in support of Joint Task Force (North), 1
Canadian Ranger Patrol Group, Regional Cadet Support Unit (Northern), and 1 Canadian Air
Division. The Squadron also provides a secondary Search and Rescue response capability,
and has been called upon to support major search operations as well as to search for missing
hunters and snowmobilers.
440 (T) Squadron is the lone Canadian Forces operator of the CC138 Twin Otter. This
aircraft is well suited for flying in the rugged and austere Arctic and for enduring the harsh
northern environment. Considered a light utility aircraft, the Twin Otter can carry
passengers, cargo, or a combination of both. The Twin Otter has a cruise speed of 275
kilometres per hour and an effective range of approximately 1200 kilometres. As seasonal
and operational requirements dictate, the Twin Otter can be configured with wheels (3
different types of tires) or skis. This allows operations on paved, gravel, or abandoned
runways; unprepared surfaces such as tundra, beaches, and gravel bars; or frozen fresh water
lakes or sea ice. This versatility is unmatched by other Canadian Forces fixed-wing aircraft.
Winner of the Air Force Association Gordon R. McGregor Trophy in recognition of
outstanding and meritorious achievement in air transportation during Op NUNALIVUT
2009, 440 (T) Squadron is a proud member of Team North.
15
Rangers
General - 1 Canadian Ranger Patrol Group (1CRPG) is a unit of JTF(N) which deploys to all
communities of Canada's North to support Rangers. 1CRPG, through their instructors, have
regular and professional contact with aboriginal and non-aboriginal groups in the North.
First Canadian Ranger Patrol Group (1CRPG)
First Canadian Ranger Patrol Group (1CRPG) was officially stood up on 02 April 1998 IOT
to oversee Canadian Rangers training and support in the Canadian Territories. The First
Canadian Ranger Patrol Group (1 CRPG) traces its origin to the Pacific Coast Militia
Rangers who were raised in 1942 to help watch the remote areas of the west coast for signs
of activity by the Japanese forces then operating in the Pacific.
With the end of the Second World War and the start of the Cold War the North became an
area of concern. On 23 May 1947 the Canadian Rangers were officially stood up to provide
a military presence in isolated coastal and northern communities. There mandate was to
report any unusual activities and provide guidance and survival expertise to any CF units
operating in their areas. Thus, throughout the late 1940’s and early 1950’s, rifles were issued
to reliable individuals in communities in the high arctic and by the late 1950’s Ranger
Platoons and Companies had been established throughout the North.
The end of the Cold War has brought new concerns about intrusion by foreign powers in
Canadian waters in Canada’s sparsely populated but potentially rich North. The Rangers of 1
CRPG keep an eye open in their areas and provide support to the operation of the regular
military when operating in the North.
The unit is the largest in the Canadian Military with over 1800 personnel. It consists of a
headquarters, commanded by a Major, with Regular Force and Reservists and over 1500
Rangers in 60 patrols spread across the three Territories which together constitute 40% of
Canada’s land mass. The members of 1CRPG carry out over 110 exercises and operations a
year.
An integral part of the Ranger program is the Junior Canadian Ranger program. There are
over 1200 Junior Rangers in 37 locations co-located with Ranger Patrols. This program
began in 1998 and provides young people aged 12 to 18 with a chance to learn land skills
from elders and take part in first aid training and firearms safety instruction.
16
The role played by the Rangers and staff of 1CRPG is vital to Canadian sovereignty and to
the Canadian Forces’ presence in the North.
About Your MFRC

Committee is a group of volunteers (CAF personnel, CAF family members and community
agency) endorsed by the local Commanding Officer (CO). The Committee plays a critical
role in the operation of the organization, ensuring that the community’s needs and
preferences are adequately represented when decisions are made.

Licensed Daycare/ Day Homes
Daycare in Yellowknife, like most places in Canada, can be difficult to secure. Parents are
encouraged to start their search for a child care provider prior to their move to Yellowknife.
For an up to date daycare/day home list please contact the North of 60 MFRC staff.
Driving to Yellowknife
From Edmonton to Yellowknife, it takes about 2, 8-hour days of solid driving.
Lodging along the way is pretty much limited to Peace River, High Level or Hay River.
There isn't much else. High level is at about the half way point.
Recently added is a bridge over the Mackenzie River, allowing you to cross the river anytime
of the year. In the past you would have to wait for the ferry, drive the ice road or not be able
to cross because the ice was in the process of forming or melting.
The last 300km of the drive is the hardest. This is the stretch from Fort Providence to
Yellowknife. The road is paved but very bumpy and rough. If you are driving at night be sure
to keep an eye out for bison. Filling up your gas tank in Fort Providence is best as between
there and Yellowknife there is only one gas station in Rae, about 100 km away from
Yellowknife. Cell phone coverage throughout this part of the highway is sparse to nonexistent, and Rogers cell phones do not work at all.

Sport Fishing in the NWT
Fish for lake trout, arctic grayling and northern pike on Great Slave Lake or fly into many of
the other lakes with any of the numerous charter operators and do the same. –
http://www.spectacularnwt.com/whattodo/fishing
NWT and other Canadian residents under the age of 16 or over the age of 65 do not require a
territorial fishing licence. A Canadian resident may purchase a licence for 3-days ($15) or
for a full season ($20). An NWT resident may only purchase a licence for a full season
($10). In order to be considered an NWT resident, you must have resided continuously in the
Territories for at least three months immediately proceeding the day you begin fishing.
Licences may be purchased at the Downtown Reddi Mart, Environment and Natural
Resources office, Northern Frontier Visitors Centre and Services TNO (Laing building)
Note: fishing licences are valid for the season and expires a year to the date you bought the
licence.
Statutory Holidays, March Break and Summer Camps
You should note that CAF members are required to work on National Aboriginal Day which
occurs each year on June 21st. Although Canada Day and Remembrance Day are both
statutory holidays CAF members are often required to parade on one or both of these days.
Daycare centres and day homes are closed during these holidays therefore making alternate
arrangements are sometimes necessary. Also note that the NWT does not observe Family
Day.
March break is scheduled for 2 weeks, often but not always the last two weeks of March, in
Yellowknife. To note: City run March break programs are offered only to children 7+ years
of age. There is a lack of child care for children under 7 years of age during this time.
Planning ahead for child care coverage is crucial.
There are several summer camps offered throughout the summer however almost all camps
are offered to children starting at 5 years of age. There is only one camp offering services to
children under 5 years of age however they book up very quickly. Also be aware that some
daycare/home providers follow the school calendar of close for a week or two during the
summer therefore planning ahead will make your life less stressful.
Swimming & Skating
Swim times, lessons, pool rentals, skate times and outdoor rinks are offered through the City
www.yellowknife.ca. Yellowknife also has a speed skating club that offers lessons and
rentals www.nwtspeedskating.ca/NWTClubs.
