On Friday, April 11, 2025, Skills Canada, Northwest Territories, will be hosting a competition at Summit Air on Old Airport Road. Due to the expected number of participants, overflow parking will be directed to the Bristol Pit parking lot, leading to an increase in pedestrian traffic across Old Airport Road between Summit Air and the parking lot.

To enhance pedestrian safety, the City of Yellowknife will be implementing the following temporary measures along Old Airport Road:

  • A temporary crosswalk will be installed at key pedestrian crossing points.
  • Speed limit signs will be posted, reducing the speed to 30 km/h around increased pedestrian traffic.

Residents and visitors are advised to drive with caution and be aware of the increased activity along Old Airport Road on the morning of April 11, 2025. A map outlining the location of the temporary crosswalk and speed reduction zone is included below for reference.
