Hi everyone. I’m coming to Norman Wells for some work for 16 days. I’ll be in an accommodation where I cook for myself. I’m just wondering how to budget for groceries. I know groceries are expensive up north but I’m not sure how expensive.
I actually plan to pack snacks that I can buy at home.
Thanks so much. I’m really excited to get to be so far north.

A bounced landing and close call for a DC3 at a remote airstrip on August 5,2026 in Paulatuk Northwest Territories, Canada. No reports of injuries and flight did not make any further attempts at landing and returned back to Inuvik NT.
Edit: There are reports of minor injuries to some passengers , neck/back but no major injuries.
Edit: Apparently this is a DC3T. Turbine engines. The Basler BT-67 is a multi purpose aircraft based on completely overhauled and significantly modified Douglas DC-3 airframe. The modifications completed by Basler Turbo Conversions includes the installation of PT6A turboprop engines, fuselage lengthening, airframe strengthening and modernized avionics.
Hey folks I collect license plates as a hobby (based in Ontario) and the NWT bear-shaped plate is one I've always wanted an authentic one of. I know they show up on eBay from resellers but I was hoping to find one directly from someone up there who's got an old one sitting in a garage or shed after getting a new plate. I heard scrap yards sell them but not sure if they will ship it to me or be willing to sell one.
Any condition is totally fine it doesn't need to look pristine. Happy to pay cost plus shipping. No worries at all if nobody's got one, just figured you never know if you don't ask!
Thanks for reading 🐻❄️

Traveling to Yellowknife for some fishing in two weeks. Debating staying the night in Fort providence, would we be able to shore fish the river right now? I’ve been told the river is too fast for shore fishing this summer.
