About the Community
Colville Lake has a population of 126, and is probably one of the most traditional communities you will find in the Northwest Territories. Located within the homeland of the North Slavey Dene, settlement did not begin until 1962 when the Roman Catholic Mission was created. The community’s economy is based on game hunting, fishing and trapping with tourism playing a secondary role. Languages spoken in the community are North Slavey and English.
