Prices are set to change from April 5, 2021 in eight communities where the territorial government is responsible for fuel supply.
The GNWT purchases, transports and stores fuel in 16 communities not served by the private sector. On Thursday, the territory announced its updated fuel price list for the 2021-22 financial year.
Prices will remain the same in Colville Lake, Délı̨nę, Gametì, Jean Marie River, Nahanni Butte, Sambaa K’e, Wekweètì, and Whatì.

“This price change follows ongoing supply in some communities and the completion of the summer fuel resupply program, which concluded last October,” said the Department of Infrastructure in a statement.
“These prices are based on the real costs of completing that program, which includes fuel, transportation and taxes. The specific changes vary by commodity and by community.”
