  • OLD TOWN Heritage Walking Tour of Yellowknife Northwest Territories
    OLD TOWN Heritage Walking Tour of Yellowknife Northwest Territories An Introduction to this heritage walking tour: The first city guide for historical walking tours of Yellowknife was published in 1987. This revised guide includes four distinct routes in the Old Town area, covering many points of interest in the original areas of community development around Latham Island, the Rock, and the neighbouring flats. It is easy to link tours together and the entire area can be covered in an easy afternoon’s walk. The City’s roots and pioneer charm rest in the waterfront streets and structures of the Old Town. On the centre page of this guide is a map of the Old Town area. Each consecutively numbered site, street or building in the text is shown on the map. Italicized sub-headings in the text describe the general location or direction of the walking tour route. A symbol indicates the site has a descriptive plaque; a symbol indicates the site is one of the City’s designated Heritage Sites. You will find that the route described in this guide, along with the routes described in the New Town guide, can be taken in pieces or linked together to cover any amount of time one might wish to spend strolling through the heritage of the City. Certain sites included in this guide, and many more in the Old Town guide, are documented in the City of Yellowknife Heritage Committee historical building inventory. It is available at the Yellowknife Public Library, the NWT Archives at the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre, Yellowknife City Hall, or on the City Hall website (www.yellowknife.ca).

  • Yellowknife Heritage Building Project
    Yellowknife Heritage Building Project City of Yellowknife Heritage Committee Compiled by Ryan Silke Updated September 2018 by R.S. Yellowknife Heritage Building Project Part A – Yellowknife area McMeekanO Cabin MAP ID: A-1 DESIGNATION: ADDRESS: Fred Henne Territorial Park CURRENT OWNER: GNWT Industry, Tourism and Investment OCCUPANT: None CURRENT USE: None BUILT: 1939 CONSTRUCTION: . Log cabin DESCRIPTIVE HISTORY: This cabin was built by prospectors Jim Turner and Morris Evans in 1939 from logs that were cut and floated down the Yellowknife River, and erected on the east side of Latham Island. This land was unsurveyed in the 1940s-1950s (adjacent to Lot 26, Block 153), but later became Lot 5, Block 202, located near the public boat launch just off Otto Drive (Turner Point). Jock McMeekan acquired the cabin, possibly from George Blyler, and it was from here that he and his wife Mildred (Hall) McMeekan produced The Yellowknife Blade newspaper which began in October 1940. McMeekan lived in Yellowknife and wrote the newspaper sporadically until he left for Uranium City, Saskatchewan in 1953. Bill Louitit was the owner of the cabin from 1965 to the 1980s. Beatrice & Pat Woods were living here in the 1970s. Susan Cross was the owner of the cabin in the early 1990s. Plans were made to redevelop the lot and remove the log cabin, which required significant work to make it livable again. The City of Yellowknife Heritage Committee took the lead to find it a new home, and a call went out to anybody with an interest or a plan for relocating and restoring the old log cabin.

  • Story Idea Als
    Story Idea Krefeld, im August 2021 Abseits der Touristenströme 17 waschechte Erlebnisse in den Northwest Territories So manch ein Besucher lernt die Northwest Territories ganz klassisch im Rahmen der bekannten touristischen Angebote kennen – und erlebt dabei jede Menge Spaß! Wer die Region jedoch ganz waschecht (wie ein Local) erleben und ein Teil von ihr werden möchte, sollte bestimmte Erlebnisse auf keinen Fall verpassen! Viele von ihnen sind übrigens ganz unentgeltlich zu haben! Hier sind 17 Möglichkeiten, die Northwest Territories in vollen Zügen zu genießen: Den „Big Four“ begegnen Zu den „Big Four“ des Nordens zählen Moschusochsen, Karibus, Elche und Waldbisons. All diese Tierarten sind in den Northwest Territories zu Hause, einem der größten unberührten Wildnisgebiete Kanadas – ein Paradies für die vierbeinigen Gesellen! Fast überall bieten sich ausgezeichnete Möglichkeiten zur Wildtierbeobachtung: auf den einzigartigen Highways des Nordens, aus Buschflugzeugen und von Booten, auf den Eisstraßen des Winters und bei geführten Touren mit lokalen Outfittern. Auf geht’s zur Polar-Safari! Einen 40-Pfünder an Land ziehen … denn jeder Fisch, der kleiner ist, wird hier als "Köder" bezeichnet. Ganz egal, ob man beim Fliegenfischen auf Äsche oder Hecht angelt, beim Schleppangeln Forellen ins Visier nimmt, sich im Eisfischen versucht oder einfach von Land aus einen Köder auswirft – in den Northwest Territories wird mit Sicherheit jeder Angler früher oder später einen Fisch am Haken haben. Die riesigen Flüsse, stillen Bäche und hunderte von Seen (mit und ohne Namen) sind berüchtigt für ihren Reichtum an gigantischen Fischen, die dem Köder eifrig nachstellen. Auf dem Sitz eines Co-Piloten fliegen Die Northwest Territories sind ein wahres Flightseeing-Paradies.

  • Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories 2007
    This publication is a collaboration between the Aurora Research Institute, the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the Government of the Northwest Territories and the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre. Thank you to all who submitted a summary of their research, photographs and helped make this publication possible. Editor: Ashley Mercer, Aurora Research Institute Andrew Applejohn, Aurora Research Institute Copyright © 2009 ISSN: 1205-3910 Printed in Fort Smith through the Aurora Research Institute Foreword This annual publication of the Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories marks a special time in research in the North. The International Polar Year (IPY) programme started March of this year and will continue into the next two years. This initiative was organized though the International Council for Science and the World Meteorological Organization, and implemented here in Canada through the Canadian International Polar Year Office in Ottawa. IPY has focused the research world on the North. It has attracted world leaders in their respective fields to come research a wide range of physical, biological and social research topics. These projects have focused research on advancing our understanding of cultural, social, economic and health issues of the polar region with the ultimate goal of addressing the impacts of climate change and the health and well-being of northern communities. IPY has also focused funding on building technical capacity and creating educational and research opportunities for Northerners. This allows us to better understand and share our unique knowledge of our territory. Researchers that have worked this year under IPY funding have been acknowledged in the Compendium by a small IPY logo beside their name.
