People are kicking themselves now for flodding the shaft and destroying millions in equipment, with gold so high. Now some want to continue the destruction. The logic defies me.

Letting go of an asset and infrstructure of this scope in the North and in this City without an in depth analysis of potential uses is a lost opportunity and irresponsible.

We should be embrasing our visual history and leaving it in place for current and future generations. If not for our mining history, Yellowknife would not exist. Our Mining Heritage has put Yellowknife on the world map.

This headframe is an important part of Yellowknife's history. May not be important to newcomers but history tells us the next generations truly appreciate historical sites

This is a piece of Yellowknife's history and should be recognized as such!

This is definitely a YK landmark and should become an historical building! I was born and raised here; as were my kids. It just wouldn't be the same if it weren't there. Whenever I am away and then return, once I see the headframe, I know that I am home!

This icon of the industry that provided 3 generations of Yellowknifers with their livelyhood should be saved. The City's report indicates that the cost is reasonable and industrious residents will find a use for it.

It would be a shame to tear down such an important part of our history. The head frame is named after my Uncle Bob Robertson who dedicated his working life to mining in Yellowknife. So it has special meaning for the Robertson clan.

If it is affordable to keep it, then why not? Bonus, if there is some innovative way to generate revenue

Such an integral part of the Yellowknife skyline. I remember being out on a boat and realizing how far away you can see it to guide you back.
