All members of the public are welcome to visit the Western Arctic Research Centre during business hours (weekdays from 8:30 am to noon and Saturdays from 1 pm to 5pm).
From June to August each year we also offer free guided tours of our facility and grounds. Please check our summer tour schedule, which is posted at the Western Arctic Visitor Centre on Mackenzie Road in Inuvik (across from the hospital).
We respectfully acknowledge that the Aurora Research Institute is situated on the traditional territories and homeland of the Dene, Inuvialuit, Métis and Cree peoples of the Northwest Territories. We are grateful to the many Indigenous peoples of the NWT for allowing us the opportunity to learn, work and live on their lands. We are also deeply grateful for the generous sharing of Indigenous Knowledge, wisdom and ways of knowing, being, doing and believing with our students and employees.
