Join Strong Interpretation for a journey of stories and music that will take you into the heart of where our beloved town began. The tour begins at the Legislative Assembly where we will break the norms of polite conversation to talk politics, NWT style! As unique as our form of governance, the architecture and the artwork that is housed within its walls also speak volumes about the people of the NWT. The next stop is the Mining Heritage Site at Giant Mine to dig into our golden past and watch the ravens play in the summer sunlight. Then it is off to Yellowknife\u2019s heart, Old Town, to step back in time and visit the area where this town began. We will see buildings that have had many lives nestled next to modern homes, hear the stories and maybe, meet some of the characters. The returning aurora spotlights such Old Town locales, like Pilot\u2019s Monument, McMeekin Causeway, Hudson Bay Warehouse, The Wild Cat Caf\u00e9, and Weaver & Devore. Plus, a stroll around the Mining Heritage Site at the old Giant Mine and the Legislative Assembly Building. (Led by: Strong Interpretation).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Note:<\/em><\/strong> We will be exploring by foot on paved and uneven surfaces, including steep stairs to the top of the \u201cRock\u201d.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n18:00 \u2013 19:30 dinner <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n19:00 \u2013 20:00 Chief delegates meeting <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

The tour begins at the Legislative Assembly where we will break the norms of polite conversation to talk politics, NWT style! As unique as our form of governance, the architecture and the artwork that is housed within its walls also speak volumes about the people of the NWT. The next stop is the Mining Heritage Site at Giant Mine to dig into our golden past and watch the ravens play in the summer sunlight. Then it is off to Yellowknife\u2019s heart, Old Town, to step back in time and visit the area where this town began. We will see buildings that have had many lives nestled next to modern homes, hear the stories and maybe, meet some of the characters. The returning aurora spotlights such Old Town locales, like Pilot\u2019s Monument, McMeekin Causeway, Hudson Bay Warehouse, The Wild Cat Caf\u00e9, and Weaver & Devore. Plus, a stroll around the Mining Heritage Site at the old Giant Mine and the Legislative Assembly Building.
