Life in Inuvik, Northwest Territories

Can you do this difficult stunt?

Lie face down, with arms outstretched and legs together. Then, get three friends to carry you forwards. (You are not allowed to touch the floor, so you need strong arms and shoulders.)

It’s a 114km drive from Tsiigehtchic to Inuvik Regional Hospital, so I am guessing something serious was happening here.

If you’ve driven up the Dempster Highway, odds are you’re happy to see this sign.

Everyone in Tsiigehtchic calls the old Roman Catholic church “The R.C. Church.”

Isn’t Canada an amazingly diverse country? It’s strange to think that Tsiigehtchic and Toronto are are both represented by the same parliament.

This display at Tsiigehtchic’s Chief Paul Niditchie School is a really nice gesture. It recognizes all the elders in the community.

Looks like this raven is also the town traffic cop.

Kind of a funny image: The CBC sign between Inuvik and Tsiigehtchic is riddled with bullet holes.

There are so many colours in the sky here. It’s really fascinating to see it change. (These photos taken around 8:30am)
