Yellowknife is a youthful and active Northern community. As the hub for the Northwest Territories, Yellowknife has most of the amenities of any Southern city. Residents enjoy skiing, dogsledding, and snowmobiling in the winter, and in summer enjoy the extended daylight hours with music festivals (currently postponed for Covid), hiking, canoeing, and camping in the wilderness that is Yellowknife’s backyard. Our office is located in the heart of the historic Old Town community with a view of Great Slave Lake. Our location promotes a social, thoughtful, and diverse working environment.
