Region 6, Northwest Territories

Region 6 is the name of a Statistics Canada census division, one of six in the Northwest Territories, Canada. It was introduced in the 2011 census, along with Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, resulting in the abolition of the former census divisions of Fort Smith Region and Inuvik Region (the latter not to be confused with the modern-day administrative region of the same name). It includes the city of Yellowknife, and has the largest population by far of any of the six census divisions.

Its territorial outside boundary coincides roughly with the North Slave Region administrative region; however, Region 3 forms a sizeable enclave within it.[1][2]

The 2011 census reported a population of 19,444 and a land area of 184,903.78 km2 (71,391.75 sq mi).[3]

Main languages in the Region include English (80.7%), French (4.6%), Tagalog (2.7%) and Tlicho (1.9%).[4]

gollark: We did magnets a bit, but like most of the GCSE stuff it was very lacking in maths and anything and more just, er, qualitative stuff.
gollark: But basic DC electronics stuff and reading waveforms off oscilloscopes, yes. Also electromagnets for some reason, but not in any detail.
gollark: Oh, right, no.
gollark: I did basically the same stuff for GCSE physics, which is unsurprising since, well, it's the same course, except not these "op-amps".
gollark: I'm doing A-level physics (and maths, further maths and computer science) next year, but I'm somewhat distrustful of schools' ability to actually usefully teach (some) things.
