Fire at Yellowknife apartment that displaced public housing tenants caused by smoking
Social Sharing Improper disposal of smoking materials was found to be the cause of a fire that displaced tenants of public housing from a Yellowknife apartment building in March. Saxon Chung, a spokesperson for the City of Yellowknife, wrote in an email that an investigation by the city's fire department into the Sunridge Place apartments fire determined it was accidental. The city said after the incident in March that the fire was contained to a single unit on the first floor of the three-storey building and that no injuries were reported. Sunridge appears to still be closed, with the windows at the bottom of the building boarded up and a note on the door saying the building's owner, Northview, is working with contractors to ensure the building is "safe and restored in a timely manner." The note says that Northview changed the locks and that anyone needing to access the building could call either their public housing organization or Northview itself. A large vacuum truck was outside the building along with a large dumpster on Tuesday. Multiple units in the building were used for subsidized housing, and the organizations that ran them have been making alternate plans for their tenants. Housing First, a program run by the Yellowknife Women's Society, leased five Sunridge units, three of which had tenants. Hovannes Nazaryan, the team lead for Housing First, said the organization received three replacement units from Northview and has moved tenants to those. "The last time I was there [at Sunridge], we cleaned all of our units out, we moved all the furniture that was salvageable, and basically everything else went to the dump," he said. Shortly after the fire, before the replacement units were ready, Housing First moved its tenants into hotels for acccommodation. He said they're still waiting for two more units, one for emergencies and another to accommodate additional tenants. Nazaryan said he's not sure when, or even if, those tenants will move back into Sunridge when it reopens. Bob Bies is the CEO of the Yellowknife Housing Authority, which had five units at Sunridge. The Yellowknife Housing Authority runs the operation of public housing units that are leased by Housing N.W.T., the territory's housing agency. Bies said they have no plan to return to the building, and they've set tenants up in temporary accommodations with the plan to move them to Aspen Apartments when construction on it is complete. Julie Carter was a former tenant of Sunridge through the Yellowknife Housing Authority. She was planning to move out the day after the fire forced the evacuation. Carter said she was put up in a hotel the first night she was displaced and then was expected to move into her new apartment. But she didn't have access to any of her clothes, food, or other necessities. "I have a completely empty apartment, I have absolutely no funds. How am I supposed to feed myself, feed my dogs, change my clothes?" she said. Carter said she convinced the Yellowknife Housing Authority to put her up in a hotel and that it took weeks before she was allowed to enter her old unit to gather what was salvageable. When the Sunridge building will reopen is unclear. Each housing organization said they were unsure and redirected the question to Northview. Northview did not respond to multiple requests for an update by email, phone and in person.

Flag-touting runner to carry stars and stripes from Grand Rapids to Sand Lake
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — On average, 22 military veterans lose their lives to suicide each day. One Grand Rapids runner is gaining momentum as he uses his endurance to shed light on that tragic number. Zach Baker is a familiar face throughout West Michigan. He runs each and every day. And when he does, no matter the conditions, he carries a large American flag mounted on about a four-foot pole. It's a visual he says makes him stand out for all the right reasons. 'People like to stop me and ask about it,' Baker, a Northview graduate, said. 'The biggest thing that keeps me going is if there are people on the trail, give me a quick fist bump, look at the flag. It just gives me chills when people admire the flag.' Saturday, the 22nd day of the month, Baker is running 22 miles starting at the Grand Rapids home for veterans. He'll work his way north on the White Pine Trail all the way to Sand Lake, carrying the stars and stripes with him no matter what the weather conditions are. Baker got the idea to run with the flag on the 20th anniversary of Sept. 11. He says carrying the flag is often a catalyst for important conversations, something he's always willing to slow down for. 'I just hope people realize that mental health is a problem in this world,' he explains. 'And that's just me honoring America for the 22 a day. I'm just one person out there trying to make an impact on such a big problem.' Baker will begin his run around 8 a.m., hoping to finish up in Sand Lake around 1 p.m. or 2 p.m. — an impressive pace considering the cold and windy conditions on Saturday. You'll also see him, and his flag, racing 15 kilometers at the River Bank Run in May. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
