That northernmost community is actually Canadian Forces Station Alert. I had an uncle stationed there and its population is small and transient. There is no nearby civilian settlement so there's nowhere to visit when off-duty. As I recall there is about five months of night, centered around the winter solstice, and five months of daylight, centered around the summer solstice. Although one of the functions of this station was to "alert" Canada & the U.S. of a Soviet attack across the Arctic, it is actually named after HMS Alert which wintered 10 km to the east in 1875-76.

I was station at CFS Alert in the 'spring/summer' 1983. To get there we flew from CFB Trenton on a CAF CC-137 (Boeing 707) to USAF Thule and the a CAF CC-130 Hercules to CFS Alert. The return journey was a CC-130 from CFS Alert to CFB Trenton with stops in Eureka to drop of supplies and Resolute Bay for refueling. Total flight time was about 12 hours and until we crossed the arctic circle we has to wear full arctic kit. The flight was long, cramped given that in addition to our complement there was a bulldozer, a Paul Bunyan and our gear strapped to the rear ramp. Think of you worst commercial flight and multiply that by an order of magnitude.
