Experienced Leader - Fair - Progressive
Amanda Mallon knows the importance of municipal government.
Municipal government affects the quality of your everyday life.
Yellowknife City Council makes decisions about:
- where you and your family live
- where your children go to school;
- the water you drink;
- the safety of city streets;
- where you work;
- your standard of living;
- the look and feel of your neighbourhoods;
- your recreation and volunteer programs: and
- how well we look after each other.
