Northern Canada & the territories
Northern Canada is the vast northernmost region of Canada variously defined by geography
and politics. Also referred to as the Canadian North or (locally) as the North.
A political definition for the region consists of Canada's three territories:
Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut (which includes all islands in Hudson
Bay). An alternate definition based on physiography is that portion of the country
north of the tree line (a definition that includes Canada's geographical centre):
covering most of Nunavut, and the northerly parts of the Northwest Territories,
Yukon, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and Labrador.
The Far North (when contrasted to "the North") may refer to the Canadian
Arctic: the portion of Canada north of the Arctic Circle. Since 1925, Canada has
claimed the portion of the Arctic between 60°W and 141°W[1] longitude, extending
all the way north to the North Pole: all islands in this region are Canadian territory
and the territorial waters claimed by Canada surround these islands.
