Canada's capital of cool
Welcome to Yellowknife, the city that gold built, capital of the Northwest Territories. No other Canadian city is a capital to such a vast and magnificent region. Yellowknife is a mining town that blossomed into a modern city in the wilderness. Located on the north shore of Great Slave Lake, the community is sitting right on top of a gold-bearing ore body. It's a city of contrast. You can dine in a restaurant or sit at a roughly hewn log table. For many residents, the highlight of the year is Caribou Carnival. Whichever way you look at it - Yellowknife is no ordinary city, no ordinary capital. And that suits the 15,000 people who call it home just fine.
