Inuvik

Main buildings of Inuvik, seen from south of town Inuvik is based in Canada's Northwest Territories at the inland end of the McKenzie Delta and the northern end of the Dempster Highway, almost 200 kilometers (120 miles) north of the Arctic Circle. With around 3,400 permanent residents as of the last census, it is the most populous town in the Canadian Arctic.

Inuvik Halal Travel Guide

In contrast to other settlements in the North American Arctic, Inuvik strikes the visitor as a permanent settlement rather than an outpost in hostile terrain. Its streets are not only named but paved. Along them are permanent buildings that look like houses rather than glorified trailers, churches (and even a mosque!) parks with ballfields and playgrounds, bank branches, a town hall complex, hospital and even a Royal Canadian Legion hall. And it's surrounded by taiga and swamps rather than unbroken tundra. You could be forgiven for thinking it's almost anywhere else in Northern Canada ... that is, until you think about how much the buildings seem to be designed to retain heat. And then you might look closely, and notice the long metallic tunnels running aboveground between buildings—something you don't see many other places in Canada. Only then will you remember that Inuvik is, yes, 200 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle.

Western Arctic Vistors' Centre, Inuvik, NT - Visitors' centre

Its history is built on this seeming contradiction: a town with a name in an Indigenous People language that was established by the Canadian government in the late 20th century. Aklavik, to the West, had been the local administrative centre where the federal and territorial governments had offices and served residents since the beginning of the century. But due to its location in the centre of the Mackenzie River Delta and the world's 12th-largest, it was subject to frequent floods, and after a few close calls the governments realized there was a good chance of the next one washing away not only the town but the land it was on. There was also no land left for necessary expansion.

So, surveyors looked for better sites for towns in the area, and eventually a high patch on the river's East Channel, first known as East Three, was chosen. Human habitation had not been unknown there—Alexander MacKenzie stayed there in 1789 before exploring the river that took his name. But, despite its desirability, no First Nations had settled there, as it was disputed ground between the Inuit peoples of the northern coast and the Dene further inland to the south.

East Three was perfect. It had both river access and a clean water supply. There was ample access to wood (due to the river delta's moderating impact on the climate and the tree line is further north here than elsewhere in the North American Arctic) and gravel to pad buildings and roads so the permafrost 2 m (6 ft) below the ground would not melt. The land was high enough to keep most of the community above any floodwaters, and yet flat enough to allow for the construction of an airport nearby large enough to handle commercial traffic. In 1954 it was chosen as the new townsite, and construction began.

At first it was simply, and honestly, called New Aklavik. But that led to confusion in addressing and delivering mail, so to make Canada Post's life easier, in four years it was renamed Inuvik, meaning "place of people" in Inuvialuktun and the local dialect of the Inuit language Inuktitut. While at first it would have been more accurately described as "place of government buildings and construction sites", by 1960 most of the population of Aklavik had relocated (A small group of holdouts remain in the former settlement to this day, preferring to live in the town where their families grew up). Prime Minister John Diefenbaker came up to speak at the town's formal opening ceremonies the next year.

There were a lot of reasons to live in Inuvik then. With the Cold War in high gear and the Canadian and American militaries maintained a number of Distant Early Warning Line radar stations in the area (as elsewhere in the Arctic), forever scanning the polar airspace for any incoming Soviet missiles or aircraft. In the private sector and the discovery of oil reserves in the North Slope area brought people employed in that industry to town. By 1970 it had become a full town with its own elected mayor and council and the first incorporated municipality in the Canadian Arctic.

At first they had to get there by plane or, less frequently, boat. To serve the growing community and the government built the Dempster Highway, with Inuvik at one end and the other at the Klondike Highway near Dawson City in the Yukon. It was finished in 1979 and opened to traffic that same year and the only all-weather road in Canada to cross the Arctic Circle, connecting Inuvik to Canada's highway network just as the U.S. had similarly built the Dalton Highway to the oilfields on Arctic Alaska|Alaska's North Slope (A winter-only ice road allows truckers to get to Tuktoyaktuk at that time of year; it is soon to be replaced by an extension of the Dempster in that direction).

Later that decade, however and the boom times ended. The military post north of town was gradually closed from 1986 to 1990 as the Soviet Union's collapse became more and more inevitable, and the threat of nuclear attack from that direction both less likely and more efficiently detected with newer technologies that did not require so many radar stations. Today only the empty site remains, along with the name of the unpaved thoroughfare leading to it north of town: Navy Road.

Oil exploration also fell on hard times around 1990. Prices per barrel fell considerably, making it much less profitable to drill in the hostile northern environment. Governments reacted by reducing or eliminating subsidies, no longer worried about their economies being at the mercy of Saudi sheikhs. And local activists led opposition on environmental and tribal grounds to further drilling. People who had come for military or business reasons left; the town's population declined from its high above 4,000 to its current level by the mid-1990s. The governments—federal, territorial and local—have remained as major employers, and hunting and trapping in the surrounding taiga and tundra sustained a few as well.

Inuvik Empfangsstation - Satellite ground station outside town

Today Inuvik is reinventing itself. Oil may not be viable, but gas is, and interest is picking up. Satellite companies have found Inuvik, with its relative lack of radio interference, an excellent location for regular downloads of orbitally collected data, and that business is expected to pick up when broadband connections to Inuvik are improved. Ecotourism is also making itself felt, as visitors come to experience the Arctic either from the relatively comfortable and familiar confines of the town itself, or being flown to nearby wildernesses such as the Vuntut National Park|Vuntut/Ivvavik National Park|Ivavvik/Herschel Island parks in northwestern Yukon or even Aulavik National Park 500 kilometers to the north on Banks Island. Inuvik has also become a cultural destination, with the Great Northern Arts Festival bringing indigenous artists from all over the northern regions of North America every July under the town's midnight sun.

You might have come to Inuvik just because it's the end of the road. Or you may be on the way to somewhere else even more remote. But either way take a little time to take in this Arctic town with its colourful houses connected by silvery "utilidors" carrying the gas and electric lines away from the permafrost. When the sun stays out all day, it's easier to find that there's more there than meets the eye.

Travel to Inuvik

Midnight sun over the Dempster Highway - Midnight sun over the Dempster just south of Inuvik

By car

The Dempster Highway (Northwest Territories Route 8; though not signed in the NT: Yukon Route 5 in that territory) connects Inuvik with Canada's road network and is open year round to all traffic. From its junction with the Klondike Highway (YU 2) near Dawson City in the Yukon, it runs 737 kilometers (458 miles), mostly unpaved, to its current end at Inuvik. On the way it passes through some very beautiful scenery in the Richardson Mountains. The trip takes a few days one way and is often considered a destination in itself; many visitors to Inuvik are there laying over between arriving and returning home via the Dempster and their vehicles recognizable in parking lots around town by their thick dust coating.

Going to Inuvik this way can be the adventure of a lifetime. However, this road is not to be taken casually. There are few towns or services along its length; travellers are strongly advised to Dempster Highway#Prepare|prepare themselves for many things not ordinarily part of long drives—[[car camping (only Eagle Plains, roughly midway along the highway, has a hotel, and it's not cheap), subarctic and Arctic wilderness conditions (food and water supplies are crucial), vehicle repairs including replacing and patching tires, and even the possibility of Dangerous animals#Bears|grizzly bear or polar bear encounters (i.e., a rifle).

This admonition goes quadruple (at least) for anyone planning to take the Dempster to Inuvik and back in the wintertime, when temperatures along the route, especially in valleys, can and will be even colder than those in Inuvik, sometimes as low as -50º C (nearly -60º F), cold enough to freeze brake fluid. Even less cold than that can often make electrical contacts in a vehicle contract and become temporarily unusable. If your vehicle stops working due to the extreme cold, many kilometers from the nearest settlement, and you're not prepared yourself and the Dempster in winter could be the last trip you ever take.

It is thus strongly advised that you do not winter driving|venture up the Dempster to Inuvik in wintertime without both adequate preparation and at least one person on the trip who has previous experience travelling by motor vehicle in Arctic winter conditions.

Festivals

(In 2019, it will happen on January 4-6.) The event combines various native traditions with modern ones, such as the fireworks that can't be displayed at Canada Day celebrations due to the midnight sun. Every year it keeps getting bigger.

• Great Northern Arts Festival - Has been held annually for 10 days in the middle of July, around the end of the midnight-sun period.

Some artists are even creating their pieces on site, so you can see first hand how to turn a stone into a magnificent figure of polar bears, walrus or Inuit faces.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Inuvik

Inuvik is a great place for those with an adventurous spirit. It is one of the last places on Earth that can feel very much untouched by humans, and the sense of being top of the world is imfeasible to avoid.

The local people are very friendly and quite willing to show those curious enough to ask how they still, in the 21st century, live off the land in some of the harshest conditions on the planet.

One can explore for thousands of miles in any direction by snowmobile, boat or ATV. Just be sure to have a guide go with you who is familiar with the land, as Inuvik is a very isolated town,and you want to make sure you get back. Also ensure you have sufficient supplies for your adventure, as there is nothing outside of the town to provide you with gas, food (apart from hunting), or a warm dry bed.

Or stay in town. The local people are trying very hard to preserve their culture, and tourists showing a genuine interest will help support their goals. From soap stone carvings to stunning beadwork, even watercolour paintings by local artists will dazzle the senses and be sure to provide you with a unique experience.

Telecommunications in Inuvik

Internet service to Inuvik, like most of the Canadian Far North, is constrained by limited capacity. Hotels and any other providers of free Wi-Fi will often request that you limit your use to basic email and web browsing, avoiding Skype, streaming services, and online games that could slow down the throughput for everyone. You may also have shorter than usual time limits at their business centres.

This may be allayed in the future. The Canadian government elected in 2015 has promised to increase broadband capacity to the entire Arctic. Inuvik in particular may be first in line for these improvements due to its increasing popularity with satellite companies as a downloading point.
