939. Hamlet of Tulita Mayor Douglas Yallee

Welcome to Cross Border Interviews. 

Our goal is to create meaningful municipal conversations that inform, connect, educate and strengthen communities from coast to coast to coast in Canada. 

For this edition of Cross Border Interviews, we spoke with Hamlet of Tulita, Northwest Territories, Mayor Douglas Yallee at the 2026 FCM Convention.

Tulı́tʼa, which in Dene language means “where the two rivers meet” is a Hamlet in the Sahtu Region of the Northwest Territories, Canada.

It was formerly known as Fort Norman until January 1st, 1996 when it reverted back to it’s traditional Dene name.

Tulı́tʼa is in an area known as the Boreal Forest and is well south of the tree line.

The Franklin Mountain Range runs parallel to the east side of the Mackenzie River, northwest of Tulı́tʼa . Tulı́tʼa as a community faces the Mackenzie Mountains to the west, an area which is world renown for Dall sheep, woodland caribou and fast flowing mountain rivers.
