“Like many NWT residents, I am happy to see our territory reach a place where it is now safe for us to open NWT Parks for overnight stays. Our priority remains ensuring we maintain as safe an environment as possible for our staff, contractors and the public who will be sharing these spaces during our 2020 season, and protocols will be implemented to meet these needs.”
