Our reporter spent two weeks meeting voters in Hay River, Inuvik, Norman Wells, Whatì and Fort Simpson. Here's what we found out.
Fort Simpson
Premier RJ Simpson and Dehcho Grand Chief Herb Norwegian set out their positions on public safety in NWT communities and Dehcho Process negotiations.
The threat posed by southern drug dealers to small NWT communities was one of the main topics as Dehcho First Nations leaders began a three-day meeting.
The GNWT's first big assessment of flood risk this spring suggested average conditions around Nahanni Butte and Fort McPherson and low river flows elsewhere.
The calling of a federal election has suspended negotiations over land, resources and governance, Dehcho First Nations said in a Sunday press release.
Organizers hope next week's Dehcho Economic Development Summit, in Fort Simpson, can give the region a "unified voice" in resource management and beyond.
