Nearby Attractions
Inuvik: Take a tour of the Igloo Church, a major landmark in the town of Inuvik. Built by volunteers in 1960 with wood floated down the Mackenzie River, the church's design fuses the old with the new. Its domed shape imitates traditional Inuvialuit snow-houses while the walkway to the cupola was made with repurposed hockey sticks.
Inuvik's farmers, artisans, crafters, bakers, and chefs gather in the Summer and Winter at the Arctic Market to sell their goods in an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere.
Safety Information
