Outside Alestine’s restaurant in Inuvik, a chalkboard welcomes customers with cheeky sayings like “We do not have WIFI. Talk to each other, pretend its 1995”.

Northwest Territories (NWT) leadership presented a united front for potential investors and exploration companies at AME Roundup again this year. Throughout a busy week-long schedule, ‘Coffee with NWT Leaders’ continues to be a staple in the territory’s presence at the preeminent exploration and mining event – and one that demonstrates that business is done collaboratively and through partnership in the NWT.
