How To Get Here

We depend on air travel, so it's easy to get to Northern Frontier. Connections from southern Canada are excellent, with several jet flights a day from Edmonton, and direct connections to Ottawa and Whitehorse. Our smaller communities are off the road system, but served by scheduled flights from Yellowknife.

There are two possible road routes to Northern Frontier, one from northern British Columbia, following an all weather gravel highway part of the way, and one from northern Alberta which is paved ~ Sept 2006 Completion. Bus service from the south is available to Rae and Yellowknife year round. Renting a recreational vehicle in Edmonton is also an option.
