Toronto 
Whether you’re looking to change-up your routine, seek out some adventure, or just kick back with good friends, a good Girls’ Weekend will leave you with laughs for the year! Stand out from the crowds this year, and take your Girls’ Weekend Getaway in Canada’s Arctic Territories. With music festivals, mountains, and spas, you’ll find something for everyone in the squad.
Whitehorse
– Although Yukon is the least populated of the three territories, Whitehorse is the most populated city within these territories. With over 25,000 locals, Whitehorse is quickly becoming a mecca for foodies, artists, and eccentrics across the North. Spend a weekend away from the southern bustle while still enjoying international food, fine art, and exciting performances when you getaway to Whitehorse, Yukon.

Girls just wanna’ have fun, and Dawson’s the place to do it! Since 1979 musicians and artists alike have taken over this historical mining town for the last week of July, turning streets into the festival grounds and front lawns into campgrounds! Pack up the gals and head north to this internationally acclaimed festival for a weekend of dancing, drinking, and debauchery! Be sure to book well in advance, as hotels and campgrounds sell out months before the event.

Inuvik Sunrise Festival
Iqaluit and Alianait Arts Festival
This spotlight on Inuit art and culture has been celebrated annually in late June since 2005. Bringing together world-class musicians, circus acrobats, dancers, storytellers, actors, filmmakers, and visual artists, it is a mecca for Northern Expression. If you want your Girls’ Weekend Getaway to have a little more substance, and a lot more beauty, be part of the movement at the Alianait Arts Festival in Iqaluit, Nunavut. When you’re not at the festival, enjoy everything else Iqaluit has to offer – traditional foods, hiking trails, animal tours, and untouched wilderness as far as the eye can see.

Fishing in Gjoa Haven
“Give a man a fish and he eats for a day./ Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime./ But teach a woman to fish, and everyone eats for a lifetime.” (Ritu Sharma). You and your friends don’t sit by the sidelines at home, so don’t do it on your weekend getaway either! Gjoa Haven is a fly-in only Inuit community located 800 kilometers above the treeline in Nunavut. Join Robert and Charles Cahill of Husky Dog Adventures for a 2 day excursion of arctic char fishing, camping, and wildlife viewing in this isolated gem in the heart of the Northwest Passage.

Tombstone Territorial Park
Located in the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in land of Yukon Territory, Tombstone Territorial Park is 2200 square kilometers of protected wilderness. With your closest friends, spend a weekend hiking and camping through the rugged peaks, permafrost landforms, and abundant wildlife territory. While this may not be a hot winter destination, come in spring or summer to see untouched wilnderness; or, you can forage the land for berries, sprucetips, and wild herbs in fall.
