Yellowknife was in the national media three times in the last two
says and two of the articles were about our food scene.

I'll start off with the non-food one. Canadian Real Estate Wealth
magazine choose the ten best cities to live in every year.
Vancouver, Victoria, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal usually make the
list for lifestyle and cultural reasons. For the first time they
included income and cost of housing as two factors in the analysis
and Yellowknife made the list this year.

"To allow readers to compare apples to apples when deciding the best
places to live in Canada, we're sharing affordable housing stats
(the national average price for a single-family detached house is
$859,500), wages and job opportunities compared to the national
average (the average salary for the country is $54,630 per year) ...

it's one of the nation's most diverse cities. In Dogrib, Yellow-
knife is referred to as "Somba ke", which loosely translates to
"where the money is", and it is recognized as a cultural capital and
one of the best places to live ...

Maximizing Summer: The one month when the sun doesn't go down allows
citizens to enjoy the pristine flora and fauna through outdoor
activities ...

There's no better place in the world to see the breathtaking and
majestic northern lights ...

Housing Affordable Places - Yellowknife's Average Price: just over
$492,000 for a single detached house (source: CREA).

Job Opportunity Yellowknife's Salary: $75,000 per year. (source:
payscale.com).

Although the cost of living is higher in this frontier town than in
many urban centers in Canada, it's a hustling and bustling city with
seemingly limitless opportunities, a flourishing job market, a very
low unemployment rate, and people whose camaraderie and a sense of
community is hard to find anywhere else in the nation. It's for
this reason that it has made our list of one of the best places to
live in Canada."
