Legislative Building of the Northwest Territories

It seemed like a perfect afternoon to wander through the Legislative Building in Yellowknife NWT.

The NWT has a unique form of government known as Consensus government. The Premier is chosen from elected Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs), and turn chooses the executive council (cabinet) that forms government. The remaining MLAs form the unofficial opposition.

MLAs were elected on October 3rd, 2011, and the process is underway to choose a Premier.

Downtown Yellowknife: Corner of Franklin (50th Ave) and 48th Street

Early morning downtown Yellowknife on June 22, 2011. I am standing in the middle of Franklin Avenue. I would not recommend doing this during normal hours. At 5:00 am in the morning there were fortunately not too many cars.

The orange building is YK Centre, blue building is Northern Images (art gallery), and the white office tower is the Laing building.
