Rural Team NWT Information and Communications Technology Symposium Move to Fall 2006
The response to the Broadband Symposium has been very positive with huge demand for information on Information and Communications Technology (ICT). The demand for attendance at the Symposium has far exceeded what the planning committee originally planned for. Subsequently, we are excited to announce that we have rescheduled the Symposium for this fall in order to meet this demand and ensure expectations of all the participants are addressed. The Planning Committee and the Smart Communities Society will keep you informed as to any developments as they are planned and we look forward to announcing the new dates in the near future.

Call for Photos

Aurora Section
Spirits in the Sky, our Aurora mini-site, is so popular we're keeping it up all year long! Everyone seems to be enjoying the Aurora content we've collected, so we've decided to keep this mini-site up through the summer. We can't see the Aurora now, as it's summer in Yellowknife and not very dark at night, so we will be using this down-time to revamp and expand upon our Aurora section for the upcoming season, which starts in August. In the meantime, you can still access Spirits in the Sky here.
Yellowknife Aurora Photos Updated!
After the intense Aurora activity the past couple of nights, we have a flood of new Aurora photographs in the gallery, and more to post yet! Click here to check out the Aurora Photo Gallery.
