How far do you have to travel to experience a memorable vacation?

Yellowknife — May 18, 2021

Caroline Wawzonek, Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment (ITI),  launched a new NWT Parks logo today in a video montage of parks and landscapes reflecting the beauty and excitement of the Northwest Territories (NWT).

The new NWT Parks logo combines unique elements found in the NWT, including the boreal forest and its waters, the midnight sun, the aurora, and the vibrant colours across the north.

Results from the latest Fur Harvesters Auction show that demand for fur is bouncing back and that the NWT is still regarded as among the best source of high-quality fur in the world.

It is not surprising that the global fur trade has been challenged in the wake of COVID-19. Traditional live auctions in which international buyers can attend to inspect and feel the fur in their hands have been suspended. Instead, auctions have moved online. Like many, they have had to reimagine their business virtually.
