COMMUNITY

YELLOWKNIFE
In the heart of the wilderness, at the edge of the Arctic, lies a modern city teeming with culture, community spirit and natural beauty.

WHERE OLD MEETS NEW
It is still said that in Yellowknife the gold is paved with streets. With the discovery of diamonds in the 1990s, a sparkling future has emerged and Yellowknife, the Diamond Capital of North America, is now the place where golden history meets a brilliant future.

GATEWAY TO THE NORTH
Yellowknife is a thriving, adventurous, multicultural community of 20,000 with first-rate facilities, excellent shopping, northern arts and fine dining. A gateway to Canada's north, Yellowknife is the centre of transportation, communication, recreation, commerce, tourism, health care, mining and government for the Northwest Territories.

GOLDEN HISTORY
Over the past 20 years a remarkable transformation has turned what used to be a small gold mining town on the shores of Great Slave Lake into a highly advanced city at the heart of Canada’s fastest growing economy.

TICKET TO ADVENTURE
A short flight from Edmonton will take you to the midnight sun, magical aurora, pristine wilderness, world class fishing, trophy hunting, and the chance to go home with the ultimate gift – a magnificent Canadian diamond.
