Inuvik Region, Administrative region in Northwest Territories, Canada.
The Inuvik Region stretches from Wrigley northward along the Mackenzie River, encompassing Banks Island and the Richardson Mountains to the Beaufort Sea.
The territorial government established the Inuvik Region in the early 1970s, replacing portions of the previous Mackenzie and Franklin administrative districts.
The region contains eight communities where Inuvialuit, Gwich'in First Nations, and other Canadian populations maintain their traditions through fishing and hunting practices.
The town of Inuvik functions as the regional headquarters, providing medical services, government offices, and transportation connections through the Dempster Highway.
The region uses above-ground utilidors to transport water and sewage due to permafrost conditions, ensuring essential services throughout the extreme temperature variations.
