2026 Yellowknife Municipal Election – Mayoral Candidate Forum

Mayoral candidates in the 2026 Yellowknife Municipal Election will come together on October 5 for a candidate forum, providing residents with an opportunity to hear directly from those seeking to serve as Yellowknife’s next Mayor.

The forum is being delivered through a partnership between the Yellowknife Chamber of Commerce, Northern Mosaic Network, NWT Seniors' Society, Yellowknife Women's Society, YWCA NWT and Alternatives North, bringing together questions and perspectives from across the community.

Attendance is FREE, but advance registration is required due to limited seating.
