Inuvik Region communities in the Northwest Territories

Formerly, there was also a Statistics Canada designated census division named Inuvik Region, Northwest Territories, which was abolished in the 2011 Canadian Census. The territorial extent of this census division was somewhat larger than the administrative region of the same name.
