Our Golden History Meets a Brilliant Future

Yellowknife is literally built on gold, with the tunnels of both gold mines burrowing deep beneath the streets, a city where the gold is paved with streets. Yellowknife is the centre for transportation, communication, recreation, commerce, tourism, health care, mining and government for the Northwest Territories. With the recent discovery of diamonds north of our city, Yellowknife faces a brilliant future as home to diamond manufacturing and retail activity.

Yellowknife is well positioned as the business and supply centre for gold, diamonds, and oil and gas development in Canadas North, offering a wealth of excellent investment opportunities.

Our website is designed to introduce you to the character and qualities of our capital city that are unique to the Northwest Territories. We hope it promotes your decision to discover our City as a place to live, work, play and invest.

If there is any part of Canada that can say we hold the future, it must certainly be Yellowknife The Diamond Capital of North America.
