I’m moving north – far north

As I indicated in a previous blog post, my partner and I will be moving somewhere more permanent in the fall. Well you’re likely not going to believe where we are moving – but it’s going to happen as of September 15th. We’re moving north – to Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories of Canada.

Where the heck is Yellowknife?

At the edge of the Arctic, in the heart of the wilderness, lies a city of youth, energy, adventure and prosperity. Yellowknife is a culturally rich capital thriving with diversity, and home to about 20,000 people. Located on the shores of the beautiful Great Slave Lake, only 512 km south of the Arctic Circle, Yellowknife is known for outdoor recreation, midnight sun, aurora borealis and an unusual blend of northern culture… a city where history is found throughout a modern, bustling metropolis.

Why on earth would you move there?

My partner and I visited Yellowknife for two weeks earlier this summer and really loved it there. My partner is moving there for work reasons, and I am more than happy to tag along. We’re really looking forward to taking advantage of the many apportunities for outdoor adventures and travel within the far north.

What about the climate?

Yellowknife has a semi-arid subarctic climate. Winters in Yellowknife are cold and dark. Because of the latitude, there are only five hours of daylight on December days. January temperatures range from -22°C to -30°C (-9°F to -24°F). Summers in Yellowknife are sunny and pleasant. Summer days are long, with 20 hours of daylight, and Yellowknife has the sunniest summers of any city in Canada. July temperatures range from 12°C to 21°C (54°F to 70°F).

What does this mean for GayWebGuy.com?

Business will go on as per usual. With the long dark winters, I expect to have even more time to devote to growing my small business. Stay tuned for updates on our move and any changes this will cause for the business.
