YELLOWKNIFE — More than 400 Akaitcho Hall alumni gathered at their alma mater for a three-day reunion last weekend.

The alumni included people who lived in Akaitcho the year it opened – 1958 – and people who lived there the year it closed — 1994.

During the three days of bright, sunny weather, alumni toured their old home, and visited their alma mater, Sir John Franklin High School, which, in their day, was known as Sir John Franklin Territorial High School.
