    Every winter, ice roads are built across hundreds of miles in Canada's far north, connecting frozen rivers and lakes, and stretching up to the very northern tip of the country by the Arctic Ocean. For the people living in the remote villages of this region these “ice highways” are of vital importance. Until April, trucks are coming up here all the way from down south, bringing supply goods for the whole year to these locals, and life changes until the ice roads are melting again and disappearing into the ocean.

    In March 2016, I travelled from Victoria, British Columbia all the way to Tuktoyaktuk just so I could say I drove the ice road and walked on the Arctic Ocean before the government extended the Dempster Hwy. It was an 8,500km, 10-day round trip and a day of that was being stuck in Eagle Plains due to a blizzard. It was a fantastic experience and this documentary brought back a flood of memories.

    I love it how people in these more remote places seem to appreciate the simpler things in life. They take competitions seriously and take traditions seriously just to name a couple. Food is seen as a necessity and gift rather than a luxury choice or a chore.

      Good on you!! My 80 y/o brother in law just drove from Canada to Daytona/New Orleans and back towing a travel trailer by himself. The worst part he said was being tailgated by others most of the time even if he drove the speed limit. So many taking useless risk to save a couple minutes. Too many people on drugs inconsiderate of other road users. I’ll tell him to visit the Yukon next time. Thanks.

    Living in Canada has given me a deep respect for truck drivers. At first, I thought it was simply a good-paying job, but over time, I realized just how challenging and relentless it is. These drivers aren’t just out there on sunny summer days; they’re battling snowstorms, icy roads, and long, lonely stretches of highway year-round. I’ve watched them make unbelievable maneuvers, threading massive B Trains through impossibly tight spaces with skill and patience. No matter where they’re from, they’re the backbone of our world, keeping everything moving day after day. A heartfelt thank you to these unsung heroes who sacrifice so much to keep our lives running smoothly.

    I spent about 10 years on the DEWLINE of which one month was spent at Tuktoyaktuk in the mid 90's. It was nice to go to the store's and see regular people as opposed to just 11 people on a regular DEW site. The Arctic could be harsh in the middle of winter with cold temperatures and lots of darkness but summer brought an oasis of life. As I look back I worked with some very interesting people who came together to live and work together. As a young guy at the time only 18 I loved the years I spent in the high Arctic

    I spent a lot of time in this area (Tuk, Inuvik, Norman Wells) in the 90s, working pipelines and scientific research. Love the place, and I miss it madly.
