The Yellowknife Association for Community Living (YKACL) is a non-profit organization that supports families, children, youth, and adults with intellectual and other disabilities so that they are included and are able to contribute to community life in Yellowknife. Inclusion activities are part of all our programming and the focus of the Association and we often forget to celebrate.

Mildred Hall School has been a downtown landmark for many years. Our tipi, which houses our Aboriginal Language and Culture Program, characterizes the unique nature of our school. We recently completed an extensive renovation that has allowed us to improve upon our proud tradition of being an integral part of the downtown scene. Mildred Hall was Yellowknife's first school teacher and the original log school house which bears her name, still sits on our property. Our school was nominated and chosen as one of the Top 40 Schools in Canada as selected by Today's Parent magazine. Voted in from a field of over 600 schools, we earned this honorable recognition for the unique and diverse programming we provide. This includes the Aboriginal Language and Culture Program and our approach to literacy development. We are very proud of our diverse and unique student population.
