History
The Yellowknife Centennial Committee was formed on October 8, 1964 to coordinate the community's plans to celebrate the Centennial of Canada's Confederation in 1967. In 1964, the Federal Government provided $3.3 million to the provinces and territories to fund a programme of celebration events for 1967. Each community within the Northwest Territories was allocated $2.00 per resident to organize cultural and social events. The Committee was formally disbanded in 1968.
