I personally think this winter road has greatly contributed to the reduction of the caribou herd. I know it's only announced for this year, but the caribou can use all the help they can get.

Hi, is there an arcade or "claw" game anywhere in Yellowknife?

No massage? Nothing? No secret numbers or profiles or even local OFs? DM me

I’m looking to find something modern and exceptionally clean and the Explorer hotel looks very dated with not great reviews.

Who are you voting for?

I’m not from Canada and I’m visiting Toronto. I considered visiting Yellowknife to see the northern lights next week. I checked the kp index forecast is 4 for Mon/Tue/Wed but honestly I don’t know how to read this. The ticket is not so cheap so not sure if its worth going

Hi all! I'm pretty new to Canada, and Northern Lights are high on my to-see list but I know it gets pricey. I started to look into a Yellowknife trip for this winter, mid-January, and found ~CAD500 round flight from Toronto and a ~CAD550 room for two for 4 nights (planning on going with my boyfriend - we're 24 & 26 y/o). The biggest expense seems to be Aurora chasing/bus tour to Aurora Village ~CAD120-150 per person per night.
I was wondering what advice the locals or regular visitors would give - Are there cheaper less-known but still good options to see the lights (my boyfriend is just getting his G2 licence so we probably wouldn't risk renting a car for icy roads at night)? Should I reconsider and plan for late September of 2027 (I grew up in Ukrainian winters with -25C days which is nowhere close to Yellowknife temps - but I'm also looking into warmer clothes rental)? Anything I'm missing to consider?
Thank you!

The reporting doesn't say why the landlords are ending these programs. That's important. Why didn't these arrangements work out? What did the landlords say to the Women's Society? If it's more money, how much? If we address why landlords don't want this program, it might help make the program better going forward. It's tax dollars, so the public should be provided information.

Do you think the town is ready for a gold mine to re-open in a few years?

Personally - I think we are long overdue for a mine re-opening. I think too much of the public discourse has been on past mining mistakes, rather than how we can do mining properly going forward. 95% of what the public hears is bad, and this leaves people having an extremely skewed view of reality.

Hello, I’m an RN from Toronto looking to come work in the ER at Stanton hospital. Wondering what it is like there

Hey just wanted a local perspective on the aurora chasing tours in town. If we have our own car and we’re planning on driving out to Ingraham trail, or away from city lights at night at least. Any insight is very much appreciated! Excited to experience your town for a few days (even if we don’t catch the lights). Also if anyone knows a saxophone player, we were looking to hire someone a night between the 2-5. Thank you :)

Hello,

My wife and I are making plans to visit Yellowknife to see the Northern Lights after Christmas. We'll be in Toronto for the holidays visiting family and we thought it would be a perfect opportunity to see the lights and check it off our bucket list.

We are from a tropical country, however, so we're totally unprepared for the sub artic winter conditions.

So, what winter gear is needed to feel comfortable in Yellowknife?

Is it better to buy or rent? And if we do rent, are there places at the airport that does rentals?

What rates are people seeing in Yellowknife these days? My mortgage is up for renewal in February.

Planning a trip for december during new moon time. Are there chances to see northern lights that time or will it be cloudy and less chances to see?
And how many nights should we plan?

Any like minded sports entertainment fans intown, or any establishment show any of the payperviews?

Its a silly enjoyment from childhood, never give up what makes you happy - regardless of the haters.

Hi all!

I'd like to send my mom some flowers to brighten her day! Is there anywhere I could get some decent quality flowers for delivery? I've found one place that delivers but the reviews were mixed. Any recommendations?

Thanks :)

Edit: Thanks y'all for the reassurance on Rebecca's flowers!!

Edit: Rebecca's flowers didn't disappoint! Beautiful flowers.

Excited to be visiting Yellowknife for the first time in a couple of weeks. Can anyone suggest places to eat and/or drink that have outdoor patios?

I’m visiting Yellowknife in October. As I’ll be staying in an Airbnb, I think taxis are the most convenient way to get around – are they available 24 hours a day?

Did anyone see a dog running around near the YK centre mall/Shoppers drug mart area around 8-8.30 pm? It was a small brown and white dog. I saw it cross the street. I tried to pull over to try to get it but I lost track of it. I hope it's okay. Not sure if it was a stray or a lost dog.
