Yukon communities of Tagish and Keno also make latest edition of map
Several Northern additions grace the newest edition of the federal government's map of Canada.
The new Atlas of Canada map, released this week by Natural Resources Canada, features Inuktitut places names such as the original name given to Clyde River — Kangiqtugaapik — plus the N.W.T.'s system of winter roads.
The latter addition, the department says, "clearly demonstrates how Canadians actively access and use our northern frontiers."
Also added is Canada's eighth national park, Nááts'ihch'oh, which was established in late 2014 and sits atop the Nahanni National Park Reserve near the Yukon/N.W.T. border.
Two Yukon communities that did not make the previous, 2006 version of the map, Tagish and Keno Hill, are now located on the map.
