Fort Providence

is a hamlet in the South Slave Region of the Northwest Territories, Canada.

Fort Providence hosts the annual Mackenzie Days celebrations in August each year.

In 1867, the Grey Nuns opened a boarding school and an orphanage in the settlement.

[19] Fort Providence has a continental subarctic climate (Dfc) typical of the Northwest Territories' populated areas.

It is marked by a long cold winter season and short, warm summers, that in many ways are warmer than expected for an area so far north.
