September 26, 2025 - Yellowknife, Northwest Territories - Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor)
From jaw-dropping landscapes to on-the-land adventures to authentic cultural experiences, northern Canada has so much to offer locals and visitors alike.
Today, the Honourable Rebecca Chartrand, Minister of Northern and Arctic Affairs and Minister responsible for the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor), announced a contribution of over $1.5 million to six projects that will enhance tourism marketing, upgrade infrastructure, and fuel growth and diversification in the North.
This funding, delivered through CanNor, will support projects led by NWT Tourism, the Yellowknife Historical Society, the Hay River Museum Society, Sport Yukon, the Tourism Industry Association of Yukon and Tutchone Tours.
In the North, the tourism industry drives local economic development, brings revenue into communities, and helps small businesses thrive. Through this investment Government of Canada is helping to grow the tourism sector and position northern Canada as a top destination for both domestic and international travellers.
