Jess Dunkin was lucky enough to first be exposed to Yellowknife, Whitehorse, and Iqaluit through a work contract. This was her first exposure to Northern Canada and while in Yellowknife, something just captured her.
As those contracts ended she started looking for job opportunities in Yellowknife and ended up finding a position at the NWT Parks and Recreation Association.
Jess offered up her two keys to getting to know Yellowknife easier when she first arrived. She walked everywhere, exploring all the nooks and crannies, while also saying yes to everything.
Having only lived in Yellowknife for just over two years, Jess has embraced it wholeheartedly. You can hear about how she has gotten involved in the community, what it was like moving to Yellowknife and what she enjoys the most about winter and summer in Yellowknife. All of this is in this episode of the How To Be a Yellowknifer Podcast.
