Folk On The Rocks Needs Your Help!

In 2018 the City of Yellowknife loaned FOTR $200,000 to renovate the Main Stage- this was a huge success and FOTR has been paying the City back. However, FOTR would like to repurpose the remaining $60,000 owed towards Beer Garden Renovations.

According to a  recent survey 75% of respondents would like to see a safe and more accessible, inclusive Beer Garden at the FOTR Site. 

Currently, FOTR is the full-time caretaker of the property however the City of Yellowknife collects the profits from all rentals. This means that money made on rentals does not go to FOTR.

Accessibility is especially important to us and it is our goal to make the beer garden a place for everyone. Our goal is to further inclusivity with better accessibility viewing platforms and a new stage design that will open the space up to better viewing.

By putting the loan money back into the Beer Garden this will improve this popular venue rental for the whole community! This means better a layout for community events, festivals, weddings, celebrations and more! 

How can you help?

Send an email to budget@yellowknife.ca and express your support for our plan, share on socials and speak with your local city councillors. The deadline to do this is December 2nd. 

Thank you so much to everyone who cares about this community!
