It's one of the first things you see as you fly into YK....it would be like Paris losing the Eiffel Tour or NYC losing the Statue of Liberty....that's just a part of YK that should remain!

This structure is not only a memory of the gold mining industry, but an amazing example of modern architecture.

As a former Yellowknifer of 22 years and Chair of the City's Heritage Committee, I ask that council preserve this wonderful landmark and legacy of our mining history. It has been done in Cobalt, ON and Helena, Montana, Yellowknife can do it too!

A landmark, a piece of home. Please don't take it away.

It must be saved as a legacy to our mining heritage. If we can waste millions on questionable projects, this is a wise investment for the future of our City.

This is a piece of infrastructure unlike anything in the North. By virtue of it's characteristics and what it might cost to construct something similar in future, this deserves a more thorough consideration before trashing.

It's an asset - with some creativity could become a historic attraction to keep them staying for one more visitor-night.

It should be saved as there is very little left of the mining heritage that made Yellowknife
