Fort Smith Region was a former Statistics Canada census division, one of two in the Northwest Territories, Canada.
For example, its border with the old Inuvik Region ran through the middle of Great Bear Lake, which is now entirely within the modern-day Region 2.
[1][2] It contained more than 77 percent of the population and more than 54 percent of the land area of the Northwest Territories.
Its main economic centre was the territorial capital of Yellowknife; it also contained the town of Fort Smith.
The 2006 census reported a population of 32,272 spread over a land area of 618,619.7 square kilometres (238,850.4 sq mi).
