What's the furthest NORTH you've ever been in Canada?

hey freeinalaska - you've been to Barrow? man, i used to live there for two and a half years. i used to run KBRW and work at the hospital,too. what were
you doing when you were up there?

 

When did they move? I'm living there right now It's a small town I might know them.

The furthest north I've been is to Tuktoyuktuk (its about 350km north of the Arctic Circle)

I was doing work for ASTAC. Only had a few chances to get up there. I regularly travel the haul road from Fairbanks to Atigun these days.

 

The furthest north i've ever been was Edmonton.

Most people from Southern Ontario don't realize that most places in Northern Ontario are still far south of anyplace in Western Canada. For example, North Bay is several hours North of Toronto, but it's still hundreds of km's South of Vancouver. Even more northerly places like Thunder Bay and Timmins are still south of the 49th parallell which divides Western Canada from the US.

 

whitehorse in the yukon... roadtrip to visit a friend who got married and moved there.

 

I live(d) in Toronto and the furthest up north I've ever been was Quebec.. hahaha That's not even north! LOL I suck... Will someone take me along on a road trip or something? I'll be nice

 

i think this is it for me too... or cap
i would like to go to the yukon though

 

Mark my words, real estate will cost a fortune in Northern Cananda in 50 years. Global warming will make the equatorial regions uninhabitable, Canada will likely become like the SF Bay Area, with good wine regions to boot! Plus, everyone will be scrambling to get up there which will drive prices up up up.
To bad that vast beauty won't last forever .

 

tomorrow my son flies to resolute on cornwallis island and will be flying to grise fjord as part of his regular scheduled flights ...grise fjord is the northernmost settlement in north america and resolute the second northernmost..won't see much this time of year though cause it's dark 24 hours a day

 

You're forgetting the fact that northern Canada is itself uninhabitable

...well, not uninhabitable, there are of course people living there, but the prices of transport and petrolium coupled with the fact that EVERYTHING has to be shipped in and the almost complete lack of infastructure, makes it a bit of an untouchable for the time being. With that said I think it won't be long untill we see a huge natural resources boom in the arctic as the waters surounding our nothern islands become more accessible for ship routes. However I don't think this will equate to a population explosion, as global warming doesn't mean the elimination of winter just a shift in the average temperature(instead of -45 it becomes -40) the north will remain a cold, vast, barren landscape for quite some time yet with little incentive to attract settlement.

 

I went to Whitehorse, Yukon. We went a bit past there too, but I can't remember anymore. Ah, life...

Peace

 

I think Westlock, Alberta is the farthest north I've been..Brrrrrrrrr..too cold for me. I'd jump in my truck in the morning and it was like landing on a concrete block.

I'll take the warmth and sunshine anyday!!!!!
