Western Arctic Moving Pictures is “taking the show on the road” with the On The Road tour that will screen a selection of films from the Yellowknife International Film Festival in five NWT communities.

Together with local partners films will be screened region to region in libraries, community halls, recreation centres, and a theatre, all at no cost.

Congratulations to Inuvialuit artist, Erica Joan Lugt of Inuvik, who was chosen along with 11 other students, to participate in the 2021 National Fur Design Competition. The National Fur Design Competition encourages young designers to develop innovative ways to work with fur, and to explore its versatility and sustainability.

The Government of the Northwest Territories is providing funding to tourism operators that have exhausted the support available to them under the federal government’s Northern Business Relief Fund (NBRF) and Regional Relief and Recovery Fund (RRRF).

Tourism operators will be able to apply to the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment to cover the same fixed operating costs set out under the NBRF.

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.

Le festival annuel du film Łı́ı́dlı̨ı̨ Kų́ę́ met à l’honneur pendant toute une semaine des films sur le Nord et des artistes visuels, des cinéastes, des scénaristes et des producteurs ténois.

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.

Demain, pour le Jour de l’agriculture canadienne, prenons le temps de mettre en avant les initiatives exceptionnelles de notre industrie, de mieux faire connaître nos producteurs et de conscientiser les consommateurs sur la provenance de nos aliments.

Toute la semaine, on vous invite à « lever votre fourchette » aux aliments qui font notre fierté et aux personnes qui les produisent!

The Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment (ITI) is expanding its training investment to help tourism operators maximize their digital presence.
