One day I will visit Canada because I want to see petrena

Fairly cool and winter starts right up, that you can have.

Beautiful place... nice video.. Thanks.. Enjoy.. Have a great time

Hay River looks beautiful. Thanks for the video.

Cool video. I love seeing videos of life in the northern regions. I've never been there but it looks awesome

My uncle Walter Dn Goose lives in Hay River. I want to move there next year.

Like camping on GSL beach there by the old ships. Been to Louise falls many times too. Fires are dying down. Hope everyone can go home soon.

Wow those falls were awesome...

Hay River's been through so much the last few years. Fort Smith is my hometown and we came over to the Track and Field meet every year for 15 years. Have so much affection for the town and its people

Sweet and serene... thank you for the tour

Alright ! I’m coming

You know, it's fine. Many smaller countries and more rural communities make due with the resources that nature provides. In Eastern Europe, many people still have family (mostly pensioners) that have a small villa with a plot of land that they cultivate every year for potatoes, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes and beans. It's a must, but the soil there is pretty rich. Just the rain is getting more seasonal, still stronger in the Fall/Winter, but pretty dry in mid to late Summer. Nothing wrong with having an agricultural way of life at all. Many people are wanting that but can't afford the land.

Thats it... I'm coming next spring!!!!!!

Beautiful job on this!

OMG! I'm so glad I found you on youtube. Your presentation of the videos makes me feel like I'm there with you. I've always been interested in visiting the Yukon and Northwest territories for the mountains and majesty. A few weeks ago I started surfing for videos on youtube of the area and finally decided to check out your videos yesterday. I'm glad I did. You're motivating me to save up and go out there for a trip. I'm 55 and this is a trip I need. I love my country and I want to see more of her! Thank you for putting out these videos! Keep posting! ❤️

Watching this from Vancouver and I am jealous. I heard Hay River and Yellowknife are awesome places to live. I'll be visiting NWT in 7 months. I'm excited. Thank you for showing Hay River in depth. Both of those waterfalls are on my bucket list.

Oooh am so happy to find this video! Lived in Hay River in the early to mid 90's, a lot has changed but some not, like the purple high school. My husband proposed to me at Alexandra Falls in the dead of winter on that lookout, with the partially frozen falls running. Thanks for the memories!

Beautiful, I believe I've only seen Pisew Falls in Manitoba by Wobaden. They are quite nice and lead in to a second set of falls as well. I noticed your other video says the city buit on rocks, the what Flin Flon where I'm from coined it it's term from because of it's geography. The City Built on Rocks named after a fictional story book character.

I used to stop off in Hay River a lot in the 90s and 20s heading from Edmonton to Fort Simpson. A good stop off point. Nice community, and I miss the North! There used to be a great restaurant on the main street run by a Chinese family. Not sure what it was called but it was great.

Petrina is a real sweetie and a gifted travel host. I'll tell you one thing about Hay River and Yellow Knife however. You can get to both of these places in.the family car, but they easily qualify as adventure travel. You will definitely learn first hand about the vastness of Canada by going there. These two places are literally at the end of the road. It will give you a sense of pride and accomplishment to explore there.

Didn't see them in your video! While I was there we built the synchrolift, the marine elevator used to pull NTs barges out before freezeup. Interesting piece of engineering. I think the most afffecting thing I saw in Hay River was across the water from the sychrolift. There was an Anglican mission church still there then, abandoned but still standing. I can hardly imagine what life would be like for the missionaries, miles and miles from any other Europeans, trying to teach and heal the local people. It was obviously hard to keep warm, for one thing. One of the closets was completely lined with pages from the Illustrated London News.

It is one of the few places in the NWT that I've visited, and walked right where you and your mum walked (nice to meet her, btw) at Alexandra Falls and I've been on the beach of the great inland fresh water sea called Great Slave. I have hugged trees! So I'm a bit of a kindred spirit, but living the stay-put life unlike you … But you need stay at homes to be your viewers, maybe?
