NWT Squash (sometimes known as Squash NWT) is a non-profit Sport Governing Body which is operated by an elected volunteer Board of Directors. Funding is obtained from MACA[1] (Municipal and Community Affairs of the Government of the Northwest Territories).

The mission of NWT Squash is to develop and expand the participation of athletes of all ages in the game of Squash by organizing a diverse selection of programs, and activities to suit current and potential members. NWT Squash's vision is to expand the game of squash in as many northern communities as possible and to make squash available to any youth who wishes to participate.[2]

NWT Squash is officially known as the Northwest Territories Squash Racquets Association.
