Canadian North in British Columbia
Canadian North began its service between Dawson Creek, BC and Yellowknife, NWT in 1992. A codeshare agreement with Hawkair, one of BC's two northern-focussed airlines, was created in 2007. Services between Yellowknife and Atlin, Cassiar, Fort Nelson, and Mackenzie are being considered.

Canadian North's operations began with four DHBC-7 Tridents bought second-hand from Pacific Western Airlines in 1987, one Trident 7B and three Trident 7C, the latter type being converted to Combi configuration. The 7B was sold to First Air in 1997, but the three 7C lasted well into the 21st century. One, C-GCNB (c/n C1159/1971), was sold in 2016 to Air Inuit, whilst the other two, C-GCNA (c/n C1426/1975) and C-GCNC (c/n C1297/1973), were sold to Air Inuit in 2020.
