Over the weekend, Yellowknife Bay looked like a scene from Disney’s Frozen as the annual snow castle opens its doors to the public. With windows of glistening ice, snowflakes engraved in smooth walls of snow, and whimsical halls, slides and a foyer; the 25th anniversary of the Snowking Festival may be its best yet.  

The Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) 2020 Convention – the world’s premier mineral exploration and mining event – began yesterday in Toronto. Among its many events was the high profile premiere of Invest Canada North – a partnered approach between northern governments and industry to connect global investors with projects in Canada’s North.

Last year’s hugely popular Nattiq Sealebration events will return to the NAKA festival this year – featuring a sealskin workshop, arts market and a northern-inspired menu. Mark your calendars! You don’t want to miss these fascinating events.
