footnotes = Wrigley (Slavey language: Tthedzeh Koe "clay place") (2001 population 122) is a "Designated Authority" [ [http://www.maca.gov.nt.ca/resources/Differences_in_Comm_Govt_Structure.pdf Differences in Community Government Structure] ] in the Dehcho Region of the Northwest Territories, Canada. The community is located on the east bank of the Mackenzie River, just below its confluence with the Wrigley River and about convert|466|mi|km|0 northwest of Yellowknife.

Originally situated at Fort Wrigley, the community relocated to its present location in 1965, because it was more easily accessible. The population continues to maintain a traditional lifestyle, trapping, hunting, and fishing.

Population is 122 according to the 2001 Census, the majority of which are First Nations. [http://www12.statcan.ca/english/profil01/CP01/Details/Page.cfm?Lang=E&Geo1=CSD&Code1=6106044&Geo2=PR&Code2=61&Data=Count&SearchText=Colville%20Lake&SearchType=Begins&SearchPR=01&B1=All 2001 Census] ]

The Dene of the community are represented by the Pehdzeh Ki First Nation and belong to the Dehcho First Nations. [ [http://www.dehchofirstnations.com/members/index.html Dehcho First Nations] ]
