  • Northwest Territories (NWT) fur harvesters, in partnership with the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT), are proud to confirm the continuation of the wild fur marketing program.

    Under the brand label Genuine Mackenzie Valley Furs™ (GMVF), all NWT harvested fur that meets our standard for high quality, will continue to be offered in exclusive GMVF lots at auction and under private treaty by Fur Harvesters Auction in North Bay.
       

    Our mission is to ensure that only superior Northern Canadian wild furs are offered under the GMVF label. As a buyer, you can be confident that fur marketed under the GMVF brand meets stringent standards of excellence.

    Promoting and identifying NWT fur at auction creates a unique relationship between the buyer and harvester. Ultimately, GMVF harvesters benefit from the premium price they receive at auction and the customer is guaranteed the best quality product the industry has to offer.
