| Description | The Western Arctic riding is formed from Canada's vast Northwest Territories, which stretch from the mountainous Yukon border to the Barrens abutting Nunavut, and from the bleak High Arctic to the forested 60th parallel.
According to the 2001 census, the population here is 37,360. At least one-third live in the capital and major service centre, Yellowknife. Other significant communities include the transport depot of Hay River, the oil-and-gas exploration hub of Inuvik and Fort Smith, where Wood Buffalo National Park is headquartered. About half of the N.W.T.'s population is aboriginal.
Economically, the N.W.T. is on fire. North of Yellowknife, two diamond mines produce more than $1 billion in precious gems annually, while to the west, communities are readying themselves to profit from the proposed Mackenzie Valley gas pipeline. Still, in isolated (and predominantly aboriginal) villages, jobs can be scarce and living conditions grim. Territory-wide, average family income is $75,102, according to the 2001 census. Unemployment was 9.5 per cent.
Western Arctic riding was established in 1976.
