Our Lady of Victory Church
Igloo Church
Probably Inuvik's best-known building, there are reasons to check out this prominent downtown landmark even if you aren't a devout Catholic celebrating Mass away from home. This distinctive circular domed church, with its exterior painted to look like an igloo, was built in 1960, making it one of the oldest buildings in town. Inside it features artwork by Inuit artist Mona Thrasher. Church staff sometime offer scheduled tours providing a behind-the-scenes look at the building, including its unique roof and basement areas.

The Royal Canadian Legion 220: McInnes Branch
The Legion
Come by the legion in the evenings for drinks, and community. Note the legion is open limited hours and is a membership based organization but everyone is welcome. To commemorate Remembrance Day each November 11th the legion serves its legendary moose milk.
Buy
NorthMart
The first and last place you'll go for anything you need: if it's not here, it's probably not available in town. In addition to the medium-size supermarket, there's a drug store and what are probably the northernmost KFC and Pizza Hut outlets in the world. The front section's outdoor section is also a good place to look if you need one last item before going off into the Arctic wilderness. There is also a beautiful mural painted on the wall in front of the store.
