She/her cranky pan leftist witch mountain dweller living on the traditional territories of Ktunaxa, Sinixt, Secwe̓pemc, and Sylix first nations. Amateur radio. Beekeeper. Grower of food. Writer. Old skills. Ancient rituals. Meet me on the battlefield. ⛤

Yellowknife is taking preemptive measures to fire proof the town. Or at least make it more fire resistant. And not a second too soon by the sounds of it.
