Northwest Territories (NWT)

The Northwest Territories (NWT) is a large, sparsely populated region in northern Canada, known for its vast wilderness, Arctic landscapes, and diverse indigenous cultures. It covers about 1.3 million square kilometers and is rich in natural resources like minerals, oil, and gas. The territory's government manages local affairs, while national and Indigenous governments share decision-making. NWT features stunning natural phenomena such as the Midnight Sun and Aurora Borealis. Its economy relies on resource extraction, tourism, and subsistence activities. Despite its remote location, NWT plays a vital role in Canada's cultural and ecological landscape.
