On this page, we’re helping Yellowknife businesses tell you about restart dates, opening hours and any special offers or products and services they have.
We know returning evacuees need information about their favourite stores and services, and we know our businesses will need help as they get started again.
Residents: Scroll down to read messages from Yellowknife businesses who can’t wait for you to come back. See what’s on offer and follow links to more information.
Businesses: You do not have to pay to advertise on this page. We’re asking businesses to only pay what they can afford. Click here to scroll down to the form for placing an ad on this page.
