Yellowknife, the Diamond Capital of North America™, is the capital of
the Northwest Territories. It is a little city with big city amenities,
with a multicultural population from more than 90 countries.
In the summer, Great Slave Lake beckons, luring fishers and boaters,
while festivals and events take centre stage. By autumn, the night sky
begins to sparkle with the world's most awe-inspiring displays of
northern lights. This is also the place to shop for Canadian Arctic
diamonds, just 300 km from their source.
By winter, Yellowknife's world turns snow white and dark nights sparkle
under the northern lights. Dog teams and snowmobiles explroe the snow
covered landscape, while visitors curl up in luxury at winter lodges to
watch the aurora. Out on the lake, there are dog races and foot races,
an ice palace, and kite skiing on spectacular Great Slave Lake.
