About City of Yellowknife
The City of Yellowknife provides Municipal Services to residents and businesses in the Capital City of the Northwest Territories. Originally founded in 1953, the City of Yellowknife serves over 19,000 residents in the territories largest city. City Employees provide a complete range of municipal services, including; roads, water & sewer, garbage & recycling, parks & recreation, fire & ambulance, planning & development in some of the harshest weather conditions in North America.
We recently launched our 5 Year Economic Development Plan, created with the citizen input through surveys and Public Forum. This is part of a larger move to ramp-up Public Engagement projects. Examples of this include our Let's Talk About Tourism Campaign, an Active Transportation Survey, Our Citizen Budget program, along with an ongoing Civic Pride 'Our Yellowknife' campaign. Other initiatives have included reducing city oil consumption, improving solid waste management, and the building of Betty House, a transitional home for women and children.
Yellowknife City Hall is in the heart of the city: on the shores of picturesque Frame Lake and in the downtown core.
Frame Lake is used as a skating rink in winter and a frozen walking/snowmobile path to residential communities. In summer the area (Somba K'e Civic Plaza) is used for the Farmer's Market, live music and festivals. There is a public walking trail surrounding the lake, close enough to be used over lunches and breaks.
City Hall is located in downtown and is a short walk from the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre, numerous restaurants and stores, and the Ruth Inch Memorial Pool.
Like all of Yellowknife, City Hall is distinctively both surrounded by the hauntingly beautiful characteristics of sub-Arctic nature (Aurora borealis, the Midnight Sun, and sun dogs), but close to urban amenities.
Yellowknife is a culturally rich capital thriving with diversity!
