This is the region's center, and its Inuktituk name means 'one with plenty of fish'. The Arctic Coast Visitor Centre, with a fabulous view overlooking the bay, contains valuable information on the town and area with a helpful staff and places to read. There is also plenty of information on the history of the quest for the Northwest Passage, a quest that permeates much of the territory's history!

Join locals the third weekend in May for Omingmak Frolics, where talent shows, games, snowmobile racing, cooking and tea-boiling, ice chiseling and fishing contests entertain spectators. Spend some time in Cambridge Bay, and learn about the Inuit culture through literature and experience!
