The Northwest Territories government has released feedback on how to clean up contaminated sites along the Canol Trail near Norman Wells. Residents put reducing risks to people and the environment, preserving heritage and making the land safe for traditional uses among their priorities.
The territory received 81 online survey responses in November 2025. Another 41 people gave feedback at sessions held in Norman Wells and Tulita that June.
The report covers miles 0 to 1 and Mile 8. The trail follows a former Second World War pipeline route, where equipment and buildings were left behind and contamination was later identified.
