Inuvik Community Greenhouse
A former indoor hockey arena converted into what is said to be North America's northernmost commercial-scale greenhouse, where residents grow vegetables and flowers inside the Arctic Circle.
The greenhouse was converted in 1998 from a disused indoor hockey rink. The upper level is rented to residents for growing vegetables and flowers, and the lower level serves the community and local schools. During the midnight sun, plants grow remarkably fast. Visitors can look around during opening hours to learn about food security and community agriculture in the Arctic, and sometimes buy locally grown vegetables. Entry is free or by donation. It is in the town centre, a few minutes' walk from the Igloo Church.
Opening hours
