Hay River, Northwest Territories - Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency
Tourism is a vital driver of the northern economy, bringing visitors and generating economic growth in communities across the North each year. Investing in a variety of local experiences that can be enjoyed year-round, particularly in remote areas, helps build a strong tourism sector while enhancing community wellbeing across the three territories.
Today, Michael McLeod, Member of Parliament for the Northwest Territories, on behalf of the Honourable Gary Anandasangaree, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs and Minister responsible for CanNor, announced a federal investment of over $565,000 to the Town of Hay River to enhance and expand the Hay River Golf Course. Through this two-year project, the Town of Hay River will contract local companies to upgrade the golf course clubhouse, enhance catering and audiovisual equipment, install newly designed greens and upgrade and expand a nearby campground.
Projects like this strengthen the Northwest Territories' tourism sector by improving visitor and resident experiences, upgrading summer tourism infrastructure, and modernizing facilities for business or community events.
