‘Better than Santa’: Snow castle almost ready to host annual Yellowknife festival
A construction crew is hard at work in Yellowknife with power tools, heavy machinery and canoe paddles. But they aren’t using the usual timber, bricks and mortar; their materials are ice and snow.
The annual tradition was born in the early 1990s when Foliot was living in the city’s Woodyard neighbourhood on the shore of Yellowknife Bay, so-called because it’s where commercial forestry activities once took place. The castle now hosts the Snowking’s Winter Festival every March, beginning when the Snowking saws open the front door allowing his subjects inside.
