On a warm, sunny, afternoon, while I'm sure you were working hard, I got to venture down to the Snowking's Snow Castle to look around. The castle has been under construction since December when the windows were first being constructed and is just about ready for the first weekend of events. The crew was putting the last touches on the roof while we were there. The castle is every kids, dream snow fort, with several rooms and path ways. When you enter the castle through the front door you will pass the admission box and proceed into what I assume ...
The North's beloved folk festival, Folk on the Rocks, has made it into the Top 10 Best Music Festivals in Canada.

Voting is simple and helpful, do so here: http://radio3.cbc.ca/#/searchlight/vote. This year marks 30 years of Folk on the Rocks and regardless of a win ...
There is no doubt you have experienced the warm weather Yellowknife is having, if you haven't you should definitely come on up. Part of me can't believe I'm going to say this, but this the warmest March 1 I have experienced in the north. I can remember 6 years ago camping towards the end of March in a tent at the other end of Prosperous Lake in -50 temperatures. Without getting in to the argument about the environment and Global Warming I curious to hear other thoughts on this weather. I know personally, I have had my guard up this entire ...
It was going to be big for me, I was going to have an awesome set-up for live streaming the Snowking Fireworks, the evening of Sunday February 28, right here in on YkOnline.ca, but of course it didn't work out as well as I hoped. We were too far away. I parked on the Dettah Ice Road, not knowing how big or high up the fireworks would go. As they started I quickly realized that we were to far away, but didn't know what to do. The way we have the camera setup it wasn't as easy as moving the ...
I have encouraged everyone to vote, everyday, for Folk on the Rocks to become the best festival in Canada. Well your support is showing, the festival in now in the Top 20! This upcoming festival will be the 30th anniversary of the festival, so to be the best in Canada would really be something. Wouldn't it be great for not only the festival, but Yellowknife collectively if it did become the best in Canada. It would! We still need to beat out the other 19 festivals, so make sure you head to http://radio3.cbc.ca/#/searchlight/vote and vote EVERYDAY! If you are unsure how to ...

I have pondered lately about what type of content is best for YkOnline.ca, actually I always seem to be thinking about it. Some may think a blog is traditionally text, but then the 2.0 Web is all about multimedia, which goes to say they any type of content is acceptable. That is why I’m asking [...]
