YELLOWKNIFE - Inside an eye-catching building with bright green siding and yellow trim in downtown Whitehorse, diners are being whisked away to Jamaica.
It may be thousands of kilometres away, but the tastes and smells of the Caribbean and Africa are alive and well in Canada s North thanks to Black business owners making their home in the Northwest Territories.
Andrea Reti owns the Pickapeppa Caribbean restaurant in downtown Whitehorse. "I've always wanted to start a Caribbean restaurant here," she says. "I thought I'd bring a little bit of Jamaica to the North."
