Yellowknife
The Taoist Tai Chi Society™ started offering classes in Yellowknife in 1991 when a city recreation employee invited a southern instructor to town to teach the 108 moves in a series of four workshops over the course of the year.
Today, there are several local instructors running regular classes, practices and events. As well, instructors often travel from other locations in the Edmonton Branch and Western Region to help with Regional workshops.
For a number of years now, most classes have been held at the bright and sunny Baker Community Centre, the hub of a seniors’ residential complex. This allows seniors easy access to attend classes and practices while facilitating regular community events such as “Lunch with a Bunch” put on for the seniors by the TTCS Yellowknife members.

About Yellowknife
Situated on the shores of Great Slave Lake, Yellowknife has been the capital of the Northwest Territories since 1967. The eight (and counting) official languages of the Northwest Territories—Dogrib, North and South Slavey, Gwichin, Inuktitut, Innuinaqtun, English and French—are indicative of the aboriginal peoples of the area. A multi-cultural city to rival any in Canada, Yellowknife is home to immigrants from all corners of the world as well as a large contingent of southern Canadians. Diamond mining has recently replaced the 68 year old gold mining industry in the area, and both the territorial and federal government have their home in the city.
