About the 867 area code
Northwest Territories residents share area code 867 with two other Canadian territories, Yukon and Nunavut. Yellowknife is its principal city, and the coverage area is broad enough to span Central, Mountain, and Pacific time.
Service began in 1997, when the region separated from area code 403. No overlay has been added since, and 867 continues to handle all three territories on its own.
Dialing note: 867 was carved out of the 403 territory and went into service in 1997.
Numbering details on this page (service dates and overlay status) are checked against the NANPA numbering registry. Registry data as of 07/16/2026.
