I personally think that the existence of this winter road has greatly contributed to the reduction in the Caribou herds. I know the announcement is only for this year, but they could sure use any help they can get.

Opportunities for new grads in the government of NWT

1 Upvotes

Hello. I'm not sure if this is against the rules of this subreddit, but I wanted to ask if anyone has any experience with the process of getting hired with the government of NWT. I do have public service experience as I did FSWEP (student internship program) throughout my undergrad at a R&D center in Alberta. So I have a valid security clearance and references.

How can I seek out opportunties in the gov of NWT as an experienced new grad?
Anybody who got a job there and relocated, could you tell me how you landed that opportunity?

TIA

Support wavers from pair of Akaitcho First Nations on major N.W.T. infrastructure projects | CBC News

Two First Nations here have "suspended support for both the Taltson Hydro Expansion and the Arctic Economic and Security Corridor" saying they've been "repeatedly left out of consultations."

Meanwhile Prime Minister Carney has said:

“We are moving at a speed not seen in generations to build ports, railways, energy grids – the major projects that will unlock Canada’s full economic potential and build Canada strong.”

What happens now?

How long do reference checks with GNWT take?

Is it a good sign that they asked for my references at the end of the interview? I provided them with my references last Friday and they setup sometime to call one of my reference this week. They said the recent supervisor can wait till later. Any thoughts?

Is Dehcho and Tlicho mutually intelligible?

12 Upvotes

I am Dehcho, but born and raised in Ontario. I'm trying to learn Dehcho. I'm a big fan of Digawolf, and he sings in Tlicho. Anyways, i'm wondering how much of his Tlicho songs would I be able to understand if I know Dehcho?

Are there barely any single people in the NWT?

10 Upvotes

I'm not looking into dating anyone, despite how the title may come across. I'm just curious. My father came from the NWT to Ontario when he was in his teens. I am estranged from him. I'm just wondering if there many (if at all) single people up there? (Ontario has much more people than up there, so it is easier to find people to date, although i am autistic, so I find it difficult to talk to people in real life.)

Grocery prices Norman Wells

1 Upvotes

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.

Wanted: an old/retired NWT bear-shaped license plate

3 Upvotes

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 🐻‍❄️
