My Backyard Tours, founded in 2009, became the second business wholly owned by Tłı̨chǫ Adventures Ltd. in October of 2023 when the business name and assets were purchased from The J Group. This acquisition expands and enhances our commitment to driving economic growth in the Tłı̨chǫ region by offering year-round employment opportunities and providing an authentic Northern experience, including winter clothing rentals.
Our tours go beyond traditional city sightseeing. Led by individuals who are deeply rooted in Yellowknife, guests hear stories that have been passed down through generations, uncovering the rich blend of history, culture, and modern-day life. From legends of the past to the vibrant community today, our guides share a unique, layered perspective of the city and surrounding areas.
Tłı̨chǫ Adventures Ltd. is dedicated to offering employment opportunities to Tłı̨chǫ citizens in the tourism industry. By investing in training and mentorship, we equip our team with the skills needed to succeed and create lasting career opportunities.
Through each tourism offering, we support cultural revitalization and language preservation while empowering our communities. We offer guests a meaningful and immersive experience that celebrates Tłı̨chǫ heritage, highlights regional achievements and sights, and contributes to truth and reconciliation.
