It was founded as a Roman Catholic mission in the 1930s and is now described as the most scenic place in the North Western Territories. If you are a nature enthusiast, you will be right at home here with some of the best Arctic Char fishing in Canada, ample hunting opportunities and endless beautiful landscapes to photograph.
The community of Ulukhaktok has a preschool/daycare, a school (K-12), full health center, RCMP detachment, two grocery stores, and the most northerly 9 hole golf course on the North American continent. The Ulukhaktok people are also known for their welcoming and friendly personalities! Although Ulukhaktok is a fly in only Community, it does have frequent scheduled flights to the mainland.
