The GNWT is inviting residents to get outside and celebrate NWT Mining Week 2026 at the Prelude Lake Rock Walk this weekend.
The walk will be hosted by Industry, Tourism and Investment Deputy Minister, and professional geologist, Pamela Strand.
Participants can learn about the geological forces and influences that worked to create the NWT landscape we see today, and about the mineral occurrences that can be found at the Prelude Lake Territorial Park.
The walk will be held on Saturday, May 23, beginning at 2:00 pm and continuing till 3:00 pm. Participants will meet at the entrance parking lot to the Prelude Lake Nature Trail.
Organizers advised anyone heading down to bring bug spray and water, and to wear appropriate shoes for hiking.
Spots can be reserved on Eventbrite.
