Join us at Laurier

Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.


Laurier’s Yellowknife research office, which it has maintained since 2017, is a vital hub for its cold regions research and for its longstanding partnership with the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT). A year-round physical presence in the territorial capital allows Laurier to meet regularly with GWNT and other partners and develop strong working relationships with community members and organizations across the Northwest Territories.

The Laurier Yellowknife research office is located in the W.H. Bromley Building in downtown Yellowknife, in Chief Drygeese territory. Yellowknife is the traditional land of the Yellowknives Dene First Nation, and the homeland of the North Slave Métis. The Laurier office is home to several year-round staff. It also regularly provides temporary workspace to Laurier faculty and staff with research projects in the North, as well as to students, who often spend a few months at a time based in Yellowknife as they complete field research. The office also offers support and space to researchers from partner institutions, and manages access to research equipment stored in a nearby warehouse.

The office is an important base for Laurier's research activities in the North and for liaising with partners, including various levels of government and Indigenous communities. It is also a base for planning community outreach activities with local partners.
