Taiga adds to its roster
Taiga Yoga, the newly-opened yoga centre in Yellowknife, welcomes a massage therapist to its staff today.
Starr MacLachlan, a registered massage therapist, will operate inside the studio under the name North Starr Therapeutic Massage.
Judith McNicol, the owner of Taiga, said she has known and respected MacLachlan for years and was very pleased that she was available when McNicol made plans for her yoga centre.
Pan-Asia going sooner than expected?
Pan-Asia Gourmet House may be closing sooner than you think. A cashier at the popular Asian cuisine restaurant, who did not wish to be named, said the restaurant could very well close sooner than it had originally announced (at the end of April).
The restaurant cited the high cost of operating the business and staff shortages as reasons for the closing.
Renos at Yk Inn
A flurry of construction workers began flooding into Yk Inn last week as the hotel prepares for extensive renovations.
Thomas Jarvis, sales manager for the hotel, said management was waiting until the end of the Arctic Winter Games, which completely filled up the hotel, to begin the renovations. Every room in the hotel will be refurbished with new carpeting, bedding, fixtures and cabinets.
Yk manager selected as liaison
The Yellowknife branch manager for Sandvik Mining and Construction, Nick Bourque, has been chosen by the company to be its First Nations liaison for the region.
As liaison, it will be Bourque's job to keep abreast of aboriginal issues as well as forge ties with aboriginal communities throughout the territory.
