A map highlighting the Four Corners of Canada, where the borders of four Canadian provinces and territories intersect.

The Four Corners point in Canada is a point near 60°00′00″N 102°00′00″W where four political subdivisions almost meet. These are the provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan and the territories of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. The point is located near the southern shore of Kasba Lake. It is in remote northern wilderness, hundreds of kilometres from any road, railway, or airport. The point is marked by a metre-high aluminium obelisk. The obelisk was erected in 1962 to mark the intersection of the boundaries of Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

In the legal definition of Nunavut, its border is specified as "Commencing at the intersection of 60°00'N latitude with 102°00'W longitude, being the intersection of the Manitoba, Northwest Territories and Saskatchewan borders". The pre-existing boundary of Saskatchewan and Manitoba as surveyed does not fall precisely on the meridian of 102°W.
