Water & Ice Route Plan
CURRENTLY UNDERWAY | RC Strategies has asked the Legacy Team to participate in this project and provide the tourism business feasibility evaluation and recommendations for this key economic opportunity component of the project. The water and ice route plan is a forward-looking strategy that celebrates the natural and cultural heritage of the Yellowknives Dene First Nation and its special connection to the north shore of Great Slave Lake and its Eastern Arm.
The concept centers around a long-term vision and framework for formalizing the unique 200+ km transportation route to develop and implement a variety of water and ice-based recreation and tourism visitor experiences. Focused on generating sustainable, culturally appropriate and travel-motivating nature-based and Indigenous tourism experiences, the fundamental motivation of this initiative is to provide new economic opportunity for YKDFN peoples and the region and to continue to ensure members can remain connected with the land.
