Mark graciously donated some of the rock to the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Museum for everyone to enjoy and learn from years down the road. To learn more about how he and his ...

She was of course right, there are lots of bloggers here in Yellowknife that I hadn't approached about having a Blogger Profile. When I finally got my act together again and found the determination to do another know I thought Jacqueline would be the perfect one. She is one of the young bloggers in Yellowknife that I know of and has a style like no other. She is very passionate about blogging and here is what she has to say: Who ...
