We just returned from a camping trip up to Yellowknife.... a beautiful spot.... wish Walmart/Cdn Tire/Home Hardware etc. etc. had never found it so that the downtown area could still be the centre of the business area. That said... IF I lived there... I might be thankful to have a good selection of stores to shop in. We couldn't believe the cost of liquor... the same person owns the two stores in town apparently.....the lady at the campground told us a household had to have at least a $100,000/yr income to survive up there.... yup..... we packed up our little RV .... and headed home..... BUT she also mentioned that even though the min. rate isn't that high.... a person taking camping reservations etc. was probably making over $20 Cdn/hour.....
