Corporate Team Building Solutions in the Northwest Territories
Planning a team event in the NWT usually means planning around distance. Hay River is 480 km from Yellowknife by all-season road, and Inuvik is a 2.5-hour flight. About half the territory lives in Yellowknife, where the Legislative Assembly and City Hall both sit on the 7 km trail loop around Frame Lake and the Explorer Hotel’s ballrooms hold up to 546. Yellowknife Airport has direct flights from Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto for anyone coming from farther south. Outback has run team building for teams of every kind across the Northwest Territories, and we’ll help you manage the planning. With Outback, you’ll get:
- Self-hosted, virtual, or fully facilitated events, indoors or out
- Scalable team building activities designed to meet your goals
