As many of you know, we’ve been working hard to renovate our Old Town space into a much-anticipated brew pub. We have some good news, but also some complications,
Finding homes for the homeless and breathing new life into Yellowknife’s downtown are the key issues in the upcoming civic election for Julian Morse. “They go hand in hand,” said Morse, who is a resource officer with the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board.* “Without addressing homelessness and addictions and loitering, there isn’t much point
Mental health, trades training and economic development are top issues for Jan Fullerton in her bid for the Frame Lake seat vacated by Wendy Bisaro in the upcoming territorial election. “I think we’re at a critical juncture,” Fullerton told EDGE. “I’m concerned with economic development policies and I want to be part of the process
