Canadian Forces Northern Area Headquarters Yellowknife, Military headquarters in Yellowknife, Canada

The Canadian Forces Northern Area Headquarters Yellowknife, housed in the Evans Building, is a military command facility in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. It contains office spaces, storage areas, and support buildings laid out to manage operations across a remote and sparsely connected territory.

The facility was set up in the 1970s to assert Canadian sovereignty north of the 60th parallel, at a time when the Arctic was gaining strategic attention. Over the following decades, it grew from a basic outpost into the main command center for Joint Task Force North.

The headquarters is home to the 1st Canadian Ranger Patrol Group, whose Rangers are part-time reservists drawn largely from northern communities; the unit's headquarters is stationed in Yellowknife. The base also hosts 440 Transport Squadron and the Yellowknife Company of The Loyal Edmonton Regiment.

The headquarters is located in Yellowknife and can be reached via the city's main roads, though winter conditions can make travel more demanding, especially from late autumn to early spring. As a functioning military facility, public access is restricted, so a visit to the area nearby is the most that most travelers can expect.

Joint Task Force North coordinates military operations across 4,000,000 km2 (1,500,000 sq mi) of land in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Its headquarters in Yellowknife's Evans Building also houses the 1st Canadian Ranger Patrol Group and 440 Transport Squadron. A separate headquarters in Whitehorse holds similar responsibility for Yukon.
