About The Northwest Territories
With over 44,000 residents, the Northwest Territories is the second largest – by size – territory in Canada. Previously it was the largest, but in 1999 the territory of Nunavut was created, resulting in some geographical loss for this territory. The capital city, Yellowknife, houses almost 40% of the entire population of the territory. This region is the largest exporter – in Canada – of gold and diamonds, giving rise to the popular term “Polar Bear” Diamond. The Northwest Territories have a fairly temperate climate for being part of Canada’s north, thanks in part to its mixture of forest and tundra landscape. The Northwest Territories is truly a Canadian gem!
