About Fort Good Hope
The community is about 27 kms south of the Arctic Circle. The population of the settlement is approximately 600 people, consisting almost entirely of Dene Indians and Metis. The community is in what is known as the Sahtu area of the Northwest Territories.
The community of Fort Good Hope has an arena, complete with Skating and Curling Rinks. A Recreational Co-ordinator maintains the facility and co-ordinates winter activities. Everyone is welcome to use the facility.
The Band office/Community Complex has a large hall available for dances, bingos, meetings, etc. Court is also held at the Complex. The area is suitable for cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, or snowshoeing. Most recreational activities are self-generated, and there always seems to be something to do.
