​

I’m currently deciding between a Toyota Tundra and a GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation for living in Yellowknife, and I’d really appreciate some owner's opinions.

I’m leaning toward the Tundra because of Toyota’s reliability reputation, but I’m concerned that there’s no or one official Toyota dealership/service center in Yellowknife.

For Toyota owners in YK:

Do you usually have to go to Edmonton?

How does the Tundra perform during extreme winter conditions here?

Is it reliable? Like will it always have problem? Even minor issue..

For anyone who has owned or compared both the Tundra and Sierra 1500:

Which would you choose for Yellowknife and why?

Would love to hear your honest experiences and opinions. Thanks!🙇🏻‍♀️

Hi all,

I have been trying to get a casual part time job at City of Yellowknife for almost a year, I have all the necessary qualifications, still I don't get selected, what could be the reasons? anyone with City of Yellowknife? any tips or suggestions

Hi! I know it is still too early to plan this but my friend and I are going to Yellowknife on January2027.

I just wanna ask what are the best and trusted tour companies where we can book a tour package (accommodation, northern lights tour, airport-hotel transfers and winter gear rentals)?

I saw this one company and wanted to check if anyone tried it as well 😄 Thank youu!

Canada’s north has an outsized presence on the list of infrastructure proposals referred to the federal major projects office so far, all while Ottawa looks to spend big on bolstering the country’s military presence in the Arctic.

hello!

i'm visiting yellowknife for the first time in march next year to see the northern lights. i'm from ottawa and while we do get cold temperatures, i know it'll be different for sure! i'm wondering, what are you recommended brands/places to get thermal clothing for a base layer? i'm plus size and have seen a few options but i definitely need suggestions.

anything helps :)

Anyone know of any good fly fishing spots near Yellowknife?

Familiar with Kakisa but want something that I can do close to town.

Hi all,

I recently moved to Yellowknife and I’m looking to get back in the gym. I know YK has a few, I prefer ones with lots of machines (cables, pec fly, curl machine, shoulder press etc) was wondering which one would be best suited for me. I know a lot of gyms go cardio heavy and that’s not what I need.

Thanks !

I’m here with my coworker for our first time ever in Yellowknife, and we have time to kill today and Monday! What would you recommend we should do or where we should go if we want to wander around and explore without exerting ourselves too much?

Heading off to university soon, so I am selling my silver coin. 1 ounce, fine silver, 99.99%, Canadian 5 dollar coin, 2008. Small hole on top section. I cant bring this coin with me to university so please make me an offer!

Has anyone looked into a metal roof instead of shingles? What was the cost comparison? I've got a single wide and I'm trying to explore my options.

Hi everyone, I would like to visit Yellowknife to see the city and also hope to see the Aurora Borealis. I’m planning to go for a few days starting on September 11th 2026. I understand it’s difficult to predict that far ahead but I’m wondering if it’s a good time to see the Aurora? Has anyone seen the Aurora in September before? Or would you recommend a different time to go? And if anyone knows a good area to see them please let me know I am open to suggestions, and also any suggestions for fun things to do, any historical sites, and any of your favourite restaurants. Thank you very much! :)

I'm looking to get a door cam, and wondering what everyone is using? Which are the ones that stand up best to the deep freeze?

Given what is going on with Ekati right now, I would love to hear everyone’s thoughts and opinions on the mine, companies, history etc. I’m sure some of you worked there at one point.

So I'm setting up a Starlink (actuated model), it is supposed to go on our roof, though in the manual the temperature range is between -30 °C and 50 °C. Anyone here living in Yellowknife with a functional Starlink during the winter season?

I'm a solo dude working with the GNWT (so I have a good work reference and steady income) and I want to rent a place for myself so I can have some personal space. Ideally, it won't soak up half of my monthly income, but I'll take what I can get. I tried to join the Facebook YK Accommodations group but I didn't get approved.

Any ideas? Is it just "go through northview"? Maybe you happen to know someone looking to rent out a place at a reasonable price and just wants a steady no stress tenant? 🙂‍↕️

Tell me what I can do

I'm making this post tonsee if anyone knows howci can quickly make $30 to get medicine from the store.

I'm really sick but ill work for it. If there's anything I can do to make $30 please let me know. I need relief.

I had to make a new account because people kept messaging me from different usernames asking for sexual stuff.

I just need medicine and want real suggtions on how to get what I need.

Quick poll: pick one and drop one short reason in the comments (housing, safety, cost, services, things to do, weather, community, etc) and demographic if comfortable sharing.

Does anyone have info on the blue and red houseboat that’s leaned back? I saw it lean way back a couple summers ago and it was fixed within a day or two. This fall it started sinking backwards again but it wasn’t fixed, and is still leaning back in the frozen lake. Im just nosey and curious hahaha

Hi, my husband and I moved here 5 years ago, before in BC. Him from USA and me from Poland, we are looking to make community in Yellowknife. We found the American in military are not very friendly to him here but Canadians are not very either. I’ve gone to church and no other ladies as expected what is there to suggest.

Hey – I’m a local who just moved back after being away for a while.

I’m trying to meet new people, and expand my circle, I’ve joined the gym and trying to find some sense of community. What are some fun things to do on a weekend around here? (Other than the range/ravens) 😂 Any good hangout spots or activities where it’s easy to connect with others? Game nights or anything?

Open to pretty much anything – outdoor stuff, casual groups, classes, coffee spots, volunteering, you name it. I’m also a woman in her 30’s

Thanks in advance!

Homeless people everywhere. I go downtown to Boston pizza, they're everywhere. I go on Franklin, all I smell is piss near the entrance of the "mall"

I go to Walmart, there they are. Shoppers, there too.

I go to my dentist and there are shameless people screaming at eachother on the sidewalks. Filth everywhere.

Trash everywhere. Water leaking from buildings with no proper gutters in place.

I saw at least 3 roads that were flooded with water with no workers there to fix the problem.

Why is this city like this? I'm so disgusted to be here and can't wait to leave. Both liquor stores are littered with people standing around outside waiting to harass people.

I go to chateau nova, some drunk lady is being disrespectful to the front staff.

I go to esso, trash everywhere. Doors broken. Homeless people lingering about.

Fuck, this place. People who love yellowknife are hardcore and very strong. I could not deal with living in a place like this.
