Is it dark all winter?

That depends on where you live. In the High Arctic, the community of Resolute has 24 hours of complete darkness for three months from around November 6 to February 5. In contrast, in Rankin Inlet, there are at least three hours of daylight even in the depth of winter. Of course in Nunavut, these dark days do have an added bonus. The magnificent northern lights, or aurora borealis, light up the sky. Some people visit here in winter just to witness this remarkable spectacle.
