NORTHWEST TERRITORIES –
A DESTINATION WITH A VIEW

Dear Canada friend,

In the Northwest Territories, this year's winter aurora season is slowly coming to an end. It's a shame, as views like this at legendary Ibyuk Pingo just outside Tuktoyaktuk on the Arctic Ocean not only take our breath away, but also awaken a lot of wanderlust... But the next aurora season is sure to come. Adventurous road trippers don't have to wait too long, as they have best chances to see dancing auroras in the starry night sky of the NWT already at the end of next summer.

Until then, we pass the time making new (travel) plans. Nothing could be better for a red-hot update on accommodations and travel experiences than the annual industry gathering Rendez-Vous Canada which will be in Québec City this year from May 30 - June 02, 2023. A delegation from the Northwest Territories will be there to answer your questions, not only about the aurora. Starting April 10, you can request appointments as an RVC buyer with the following partners:
