The Giant Mine is the reason Yellowknife exists - one of the town mottos is "Yellowknife: Where the gold is paved with streets". The mine has been shut for years and in recent history was the site of a very nasty strike in the early 90s. Now it is a toxic waste site filled with the tailings from 60 years of mining. Apparently it is the worst industrial waste site in Canada. I always though that honor went to the Sydney Tar Ponds (not sands for people who watch the video - my bad). But anyway it is pretty bad.
