Yellowknife Celebrates World Snow Day:  Sunday, January 20th

The City of Yellowknife is excited to celebrate World Snow Day on Sunday, January 20.
World Snow Day is an event promoted by the International Ski Federation and encourages residents to celebrate all things snow around the world simultaneously. In Yellowknife a wide range of free outdoor activities are being offered to the public. Cross country skiing at the Yellowknife Ski Club, snowboarding with the Great Slave Snowmobile Association and skating at Somba K'e Park have been organized between 11am and 3pm.

The Yellowknife Ski Club is offering the use of cross country ski gear which will be available on a first-come first-served basis. A wrap up party with bison stew, prizes, a slide show and guest speaker Jamie Bastedo will take place at the ski club from 3:00 to 4:30 pm.
