Nice video! I was born in Inuvik 49 years ago. The road you travelled on, I believe ,was Navy Road.That road used to be a no go zone, in my day, unless you were with the Military. There udsed to be a monitoring station there for soviet radio traffic. There was a base in Inuvik until 1984. I enjoyed your video, it brought back many memories of life there from 1964 until 1982. Thanks!
Yes my Father Inlaw Was In The Military Out Their Keeping An Eye On The Russians And My Wife Was Born Their In 1981, But Were In Ontario,And Her Brother's Are Still Their .And Her Family To This Day.
above ground piping system is called a utilidor and was invented for Inuvik...first I heard of underground pipes tho...I'll have to check on that! nice video! haven't been up for a bit now!
Looks like the main street in the 'downtown' area is paved. I've been to Barrow, which is not that much further north than Inuvik , and NOTHING is paved. They say the intense cold would just completely crack up any pavement you could put down.
Nice video but a little correction,,,,Taxi fees are 5 bucks, one way... anywhere in town and 20 bucks to the airport....Just thought I would let you know...lol
Thanks cool video you covered alot of area I was there in the late 80's worked at RDR sports for a few months this also brought back many memories for me. Lunch at the Eskimo Inn, or Skidoo racing and culture event they had down on the river. I can't remember what it was called. Interesting place. My brother John who had lived there for many years had talked me into going there. wish I could have watched this first to be prepared lol. It looks like it has improved alot since. Cheers.
nice video... next time u see a fox... keep quiet.. no slamming ur door.. kiss/suck the back of your hand imitating a mouse and get ready for some pics when he come jaunting in

Plumbing pipes above the ground probably has to do with permafrost/frozen ground. Construction above frozen ground is a tricky matter.
