My sense of the town is limited by my brief stay. I saw little outside the city but dog sledding on Kam and Grace Lake I did get a feeling of the grand isolation of the sub Arctic. It is a vast and still wild land, one of extremes of climate and extremes of people.
In the city there is a vibrant cultural life with concerts, theater and fine dining (wines are widely available that have to be special ordered in Toronto) and yet there are addicted street people passed out in the malls, ignored by all walking by.
All that said, I was sorry to leave. The NWT is a place worth coming to.

dogsledding? You need to post some pics of that for sure. Fine wines that need to be special ordered in Toronto, huh? Who would have thought... perhaps the University Club of Toronto should open a sister branch in Yellowknife. I've heard the UCT has an extensive and eclectic wine list... not that I've ever had the pleasure first hand
