Looking for a job in the Medical Field?
The NT is like no other part of Canada. We have one city (Yellowknife), four towns and numerous villages, settlements and hamlets. Aboriginal people indigenous to the NT -the Dene, Metis and Inuvialuit- have legends, stories, traditions and skills to share. Our ties to the land are crucial, especially in our smaller communities, where hunting, fishing, and trapping help to sustain many families.
