Resupplying the Canadian Arctic – a logistical nightmare

By Christopher Wright April 29, 2025

Getting to Canada’s Arctic regions isn’t easy. Rail services terminate at sub-Arctic Churchill and Moosonee, although you can drive to Tuktoyaktuk in the Northwest Territories. However, getting to Tuk is not easy, or cheap; the route is more than 3,000 km from Edmonton, mostly on gravel via the Alaska and Dempster Highways and two ferry crossings.
