The Legislative Assembly Mace
About:
The Mace is the symbol of the authority of the Legislative and its Speaker. It is a symbol of the people and their ability to govern themselves. The most unusual and unique feature of this mace is one that can't be seen - the sound. Within the language band are tiny pebbles collected from the 33 communities in the Northwest Territories. When moved, the shifting of the pebbles creates a magical sound similar to a rain stick. This sound represents the voices of the people in this great land.
Hunting The Aurora Borealis 2017:
Sometimes you have to jolt yourself out of your comfort zone and aim for your bucket list. That's exactly what I did in March... I packed my warm clothes, gathered some friends and went to hunt the Aurora Borealis. There were no guarantees, but as luck would have it, we saw the dancing lights while doing a little dance ourselves in -29 degrees. I now find myself missing those moments, with icicles on my nose and eyelashes, my hands frozen as I removed my gloves to snap photos of the elusive and magical northern lights. The people we met in Yellowknife were kind and love their NW Territories. I find this journey to the top of the world, in my top ten best adventures ever.
Bundle up, its chilly outside...
