About Enterprise (Northwest Territories)
Enterprise is a significant point on the Northwest Territories highway system, as all traffic originating from Alberta en route to the two largest population centres, Yellowknife and Hay River, must pass through.

In 1959-1960, the highway was extended to Yellowknife on the north side of Great Slave Lake, increasing Enterprise junction's importance. The village was totally destroyed by wildfires in August 2023. Enterprise has a subarctic climate with the yearly mean temperature being below zero in spite of the relatively warm summers around 22
