Aklavik was the regional centre but was prone to flooding. In 1959, Inuvik was purpose built to house a larger airport, highway connections, new health facilities, housing and an innovative public utilidor system. Aklavik remains a small traditional village that retains its connections to the land and river. The river is open from the middle of June until September.
