Gerda is a true and proud City of Yellowknife employee! We worked together at the Ruth Inch Memorial Pool 30 years ago. Today, in her role as Deputy Fire Chief, she inspects my company's properties to ensure they meet National Fire Code requirements, and provides me with the tools I need to keep our tenants safe. Gerda is always professional and very knowledgeable. She is a woman in a non-traditional role and I applaud her for that.

We couldn't do as much as we do, without the help from Municipal Enforcement Officers. We work together to answer concerns from the community and identify animals, so that we can find their owners before they have to come into the shelter. Officers go out of their way to reunite pets with their families. Thank you MED for helping keep our furry friends safe!

When in doubt, call Dave Hurley and issues are dealt with quickly and with great service. We want to express what an asset and valuable employee Dave is and how much we appreciate everything he does, not just for Old Town, but for all of Yellowknife. Thank you Dave for you unfaltering support.

I bike the streets of Yellowknife almost every day, sometimes stopping to talk to the Road and Sidewalk crews to let them know what bike lanes need more sweeping. Sure enough, they always get the work done. Knowing our crews care about road safety and are responsive to tips makes Yellowknife a city I have confidence in. The crews' attention to detail makes everyone's ride safer. One of the many reasons why... I LOVE THIS CITY

Jennifer (Finance Officer, City of Yellowknife) is the most amazing person to work with a the City of Yellowknife. She walks me through lottery applications with patience and understanding; she helps make sure I have all my statements and applications in order. She is so easy going and pleasant every time! Thanks Jennifer, you make my job so much easier.

Thanks to Sinead (Swim Coach, City of Yellowknife) at Ruth Inch Memorial Pool, Sam (Sam Slack, Awesome Swimmer! shown above) has fun in the water! She has this disarming manner about her that allows Sam to relax and enjoy playing in the pool, which will serve him well as he grows up in Yellowknife... I LOVE THIS CITY

I worked closely with Iman (Communications and Economic Development Officer, City of Yellowknife) to open up my new bakery. She has been so helpful and patient with me through the process after winning Win Your Space 2017. I'm so excited to open up Ja-pain... I couldn't have done this without her! I LOVE THIS CITY.
