For those who want the freedom of
the north but shudder at the thought
of Arctic temperatures, Fort Simpson
is the perfect place. An island community
at the confluence of the Mackenzie
and the Liard rivers, it is blessed
with a temperate climate and rich soils,
which once earned the town the nickname
The Garden of the Mackenzie.
In the past, Fort Simpson's temperate climate
and rich soils earned it the nickname "The Garden
of the Mackenzie." Beyond gardens, this town of
depends on gas exploration, hunting, and tourism.
