The northern sky...
Head out and view the constellations and listen to owls calling at night!

Fish netting under ice
Set and haul nets to provide fish for a community feast

      The next YEC activity of Summer 2010 will be a "Green Thumb" gathering to be held on Saturday, September 11th from 10:00-11:00 am at the Mary Murphy Senior Citizen's Home, Garden Plot (5124 - 52nd Street, Yellowknife).

      This activity will allow the youth who participated in the first summer event to see the fruits of their labour and, for those who weren't there, you can see what vegetables we've grown.  Come join us for the harvest - which will be showcased in a chowder at the Fall Harvest Fair!
