Joint Task Force (North) (French: Force opérationnelle interarmées (Nord)[2]) is responsible for all Canadian Armed Forces operations and administration in northern Canada, namely Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and the waters of the Arctic Ocean (within Canada) and Hudson Bay. JTFN is headquartered in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, and is part of Canadian Joint Operations Command.

JTFN has received increasing national attention since 2009 with greater emphasis being made on Canada's claim to arctic sovereignty.[3] Each year, hundreds of Canadian soldiers participate in Operation Nanook, an annual display of sovereignty in Canada's northern latitudes.[4] The operation has been held annually since 2007.
