Thirteen, Frequently Asked Questions and Answers!
1/ When can I see the Aurora?
Answer: As long as the sky is clear and it is dark your chances of seeing the aurora are excellent! However often it means waiting for them for a few minutes to an hour. Many people give up too easily and don’t wait long enough. Today there are aroura apps you can download that will keep you informed.
2/ Do you always have to take a tour to see the Northern Lights / Aurora?
Answer: No, you do not need a tour to see them. You can often you can see them from anywhere in the city. As well sometimes just getting away from the light pollution in the city helps. If you are comfortable driving in the snow, you can take yourself on a tour. There are anyway places close to the city to go to that will enable you to see them at their best.
3/ How do I know what tours are best?
Answer: Always ask questions about what it offers. Since we have been here a long time you can tell us what you want and we will give you the opinion of other guests and help you out.
4/ Question: What kind of clothes outdoors clothes do I need outdoors in winter?
Answer: You need warm clothes when you go out in winter. You can buy or rent parkas pants and boots from tour operators or you can save some money and provide your winter wear. When you supply your own this is what I recommend. Windproof winter jacket, windproof lined pants /ski wear pants. Under the above wear, I suggest that you layer your clothing. A warm long sleeve shirt/ blouse and a hoodie with a drawstring at the neck to close the hood around your face. A warm hat that covers your ears and forehead should be worn under your tied-up hoodie. Cold air around your neck always makes you feel colder. A long scarf that's wide enough, to cover your nose, mouth, and forehead on a bitterly cold night or day. You will need good footwear. Something rated for more than -30 C You will need a good hat, mitts windproof on the outside and big enough to put another pair of mitts underneath, wind pants, and long under-ware. Or pajama pants or leggings under your jeans and ski pants. Long-sleeved shirts are also great.
5/ What do I need to wear and do indoors in winter to stay warm:
Answer: You will want warm socks and slippers, long pants, and long sleeves. Often when you come in from the outdoors you will be chilled.
When this happens, Northerners layer up their clothing.
Some people never sleep between the sheets. It is always a good idea to sleep between the sheets. Sheets help keep your body warm. Heating is extremely expensive.
the north so rather than turn up the heat most of us layer up our clothing and help get rid of the chills, quickly.
6. Question: what type of clothing do I need in Summer?
Answer: Our summer temperatures can reach as high as +35 C but these temperatures do not last long. Our normal summer temperature is about 21 to 27 C. So normal summer clothes are desirable but one should consider that there are times when it can be cool and bugs can be bothersome. you will need a good cardigan light jacket or a hoodie and occasionally a raincoat.
7/ Question: Do you have rooms service:
Answer: no, we do not.
8/ Question: Are we required to look after our rooms?
Answer: For the most part, yes you do. Yes, we have implemented this to minimize contact during this time of Covid. As requirements relax, this will change. We will come and retrieve garbage regularly and restock food supplies.
9/ Questions: What services do you supply?
Answer: We will change your bed every seven days. Since Covid, we no longer do bed makeup service or room cleaning daily. We do check for garbage recyclables and compost every few days. If you need the garbage emptied and we have not done it let us know or you can tie it up and replace the bags. There are cleaners and bags under the cupboard where the sink is. In this case, just let us know if you need a pickup. You can send us a text or knock on the door and place your garbage in, the foyer for pickup.
10/ Question: When do our sheets get changed?
Answer: We change sheets every seven days, or when requested.
11/ Question: When can we get clean towels.?
Answer: With each stay, guests are provided enough towels for the duration of their stay. We will still be asking you to practice environmentally sound practices by using your towels more than once. If you run short on towels you can request more
12/ Question: Do we have to remove our shoes when we enter, the house?
Answer: Yes. At Embleton House, we have always had a remover your shoes rule for the following reasons. (a) In winter outdoor footwear. They are often covered with snow. When it melts it is messy and slippery and creates a slip-and-fall possibility.
(b) We are an environmentally friendly business that strives to keep dust to a minimum for allergy sufferers.
(c) It is a big help in controlling dust and contamination from the street that may spread the Covid 19 virus to remove our shoes in the house. A medical study shows that our feet collect a lot of viruses off the street and floors where we walk.
13Thirtee/ What about cell service?
Answer: In Yellowknife, we have only two cell phone providers- BELL and Tellus. Check with your cell provider to see if you need roaming for NWT.
