My Northwest Territories Adventure

 

In early 2013, I was exceptionally lucky enough to win a trip to Canada’s Northwest Territories. The NWT tourism board had been doing some promotion in Ottawa during Winterlude and as part of their activities, they were giving away three trips to the NWT via a random draw. To this day, I still can’t believe I won! It was truly the experience of a lifetime.

To make it easier to follow along my adventure, I’ve compiled all of the related posts below …

We will be forever thankful to the Northwest Territories Tourism Board for the opportunity to win this trip and to the welcoming and encouraging owners and guides of Canoe North Adventures!

We also were treated to the unbelievably high-level of customer service that everyone who takes a First Air flight enjoys, catching the biggest darn fish you can possible imagine with Yellowknife Adventures, the hospitality of The Days Inn & Suites, and the breathtaking views only possible on board a float plane flight by family-owned North Wright Airways

beautiful and absolutely spectacular Northwest Territories!
