With COVID-19 limiting tourism activities in the NWT, now is the time to pivot to slightly altered markets or to a new kind of visitor.
How is your marketing reaching them? Do you have new ideas that will appeal to a fresh audience? Now is a great time to re-discover and re-imagine your tourism operations.
To help, ITI has re-designed three tourism training resources to guide you. Each workbook builds upon the other starting with tourism product development.
Have an idea? Make it a reality.
Thank you, MP McLeod - and thanks for joining us today, everyone.
On first blush, this may seem like an odd time to make an agriculture announcement; especially in the Northwest Territories.
The reality is that by the time the weather warms up and people like you and I start thinking about planting and growing, the folks that make up Canada’s commercial food sector - even here in the NWT - will already be wildly busy.
An exciting week-long celebration of northern-based films at the annual Łı́ı́dlı̨ı̨ Kų́ę́ Film Festival is shining a spotlight on NWT visual artists, film-makers, screenwriters, and film producers.
This is the second year for the festival. It began Sunday (February 21, 2021) with two exclusive screenings of the NWT film “Elijah and the Rock Creature.”
The Governments of Canada and the Northwest Territories are investing over $400,000 to increase the production of fresh, healthy and locally-grown food in the NWT’s agriculture sector.
The investments, delivered under the Canadian Agriculture Partnership (the Partnership), will support three projects in Hay River.
Tomorrow is Canadian Agriculture Day. It is a day to showcase all the amazing things happening in Canada’s agriculture industry and to increase consumer awareness to where food comes from and the people who produce it.
The Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment (ITI) is expanding its training investment to help tourism operators maximize their digital presence.
GNWT-ITI extends its congratulations to Blackstone Territorial Park Operator, Mr. Mike Gonet for winning the 2020 Park Operator of the Year.
The annual Park Operator of the Year Award recognizes outstanding hospitality and service by a park operator. The selection takes into account visitor feedback received through digital surveys submitted by visitors after their stay at an NWT Park.
The Northwest Territories Geological Survey has opened the 2021-22 application period for the Northwest Territories (NWT) Mining Incentive Program (MIP). The NWT MIP provides funding to prospectors and exploration companies proposing new exploration projects or already carrying out NWT mineral exploration work.
In response to COVID-19, several changes were made to the 2020-2021 MIP. During 2021-2022, it is expected that the pandemic will continue to impact NWT mineral exploration and the majority of program changes made for 2020-2021 will be continued for the upcoming year.
Artwork from Beaufort-Delta artists is being highlighted in NWT Arts showcases in Inuvik.
NWT Arts and regional ITI staff teamed up to update the NWT Arts display at the Inuvik Airport while also establishing a new display case at the GNWT-ITI Beaufort-Delta office.
We know, eventually, that the COVID pandemic will come to an end – and visitors will once again travel the ITH (Inuvik-Tuk Highway) North to the Arctic coast.
In anticipation of this eventuality, something else travelled the ITH on February 1st – a new (temporary) Visitors Information Centre bound for the Hamlet of Tuktoyaktuk.
