It takes careful precision and brute strength to lift blocks of ice into place at #DeBeersInspiredIce, part of #LJJ2019 opening at noon today by the #Yellowknife Field House.

Beautiful day here for #LJJ2019 and #DeBeersInspiredIce beside the #Yellowknife Field House. Bring the family by to enjoy spring weather, good food and inspiring ice carvings.

Year after year, carvers from around the globe flock to Yellowknife to turn the massive blocks of ice into frozen works of art. #nwt https://t.co/YhxbLyLs7J

Two time #DeBeersInspiredIce media challenge winners from l’Aquilon get to work on their block. #LJJ2019

@LongJohnYK has kicked off in #Yellowknife. Events like this are important - they attract visitors, offer economic benefits and provide family-friendly fun. The event has been moved off ice due to weather but I still urge those who can, to get out and support the annual event.

The Long John Jamboree is the second Yellowknife festival to face major disruption as organizers announced it will move to dry land.

Ordinarily held on Yellowknife Bay, the Jamboree will instead take place in the parking lot of the city’s fieldhouse.

IMPORTANT 📌Vu la température et les conditions actuelles à la baie de Yellowknife, le @LongJohnYK sera relocalisé, et aura lieu dans le stationnement du complexe sportif de #Yellowknife.
