Why travel to the frozen North of Canada in the middle of Winter, you ask? There is something about Northern communities, particularly in the Winter, that you won't experience anywhere else at any other time.

It is an adventure that you can tell your friends about. Still, the weather is pretty darn cold!

It was a significantly different experience traveling to Norman Wells, NWT in the summer. Here is a post from July 2009. (Another video at the end.)

I wrote these posts 2 years ago, when I took our then 1 year old up to the Northwest Territories for New Years. It was quite a trip! (There is a video at the end.)
