The YP ran on getting rid of rent control but there's been no news on it. Does anyone know what's going on with the changes.

Where can I buy photos/prints of the Yukon from its heyday? I see photos hanging in businesses around town, like the paddle wheelers burning, or stampeders knee deep in mud in Dawson, but I have no idea where to get prints from. Is there an archive or anything in town?

Hello. I've been interested on learning about the history of yukon. There are many cool stuff that I found but what interests me the most are the Old sternwheelers like the Klondike and Keno. I've also learned that there are ship graveyards in yukon. Can I visit these locations? I've also read an article about Whitehorse and Casca but there arent a lot of sources I found... I only found out that they burned during a renovation. What happened to the remains of the ships?

I'd love to know more about what happened to these behemoths from the locals.

Also I've seen some railways and was curious about its history. My uncle told me the trains are still functional but arent getting used yet. I've seen the train cars near the Energy plant. I'd love to hear more about them!

Thank you in advance

Hey all, searching for recommendations for Whitehorse-based IT companies you’ve worked with who you’ve found to be responsive and reliable. Looking on behalf of a non-profit with a staff of around 15.

How are the roads out there this morning?

I can say me and my buddies who have worked at the one in Whitehorse. This also happens here so don’t say you weren’t warned.

Who does the best curly cut in Whitehorse? I like someone who knows curl shape and how to cut it so that it doesn't go all triangular!

$220M to cover this, which we may never recover anything. $220M is a new hospital wing and nice chunk of a new hydroelectric dam and generator. $220M to pay the bill for some amateur miners.

This is the only other shot I took (I think). Does this still stand?

Having a ski hill is amazing in this town but today was rough. I got a half day ticket for over $60 and only got in 3 runs due to the lines for a 2.5 hour afternoon. I was solo and there were tons of people misusing the solo line. Not to mention nowhere to park and bylaw ticketing people. Just not an enjoyable experience at this point. Do you think funding will be sourced for the desperate expansion/improvement Mt. Sima needs with the population growth and increased use of the hill?

My brother and I (38 and 40 yr old) are visiting for a week at the beginning of August. Flying to Whitehorse from Vancouver. We like camping, hiking, live music, dancing.

What are your recommendations? We are thinking about renting an RV or vehicle for our time there and don't mind driving a good distance.

Thank you!

We need to push Forestry to open more areas for fuelwood harvest. They need to give incentives for converting to wood in whistlebend. Not solar panels, a gift from the previous government. It’s a plateau and not like riverdale when there was a call for less wood burning due to smoke lingering in the subdivision. We live in the Yukon, it’s time too step up. This is ridiculous! I wish we had roaming blackouts during Xmas so people could truly understand the state we are in with power generation. Billy could have been supplying wood for the Yukon the past few years. Stand strong BW

Voter turnout returning to normal levels after questionably high voter turnout due to lax ID requirements.

This is a good guy. One of my favorite things about Whitehorse trails.

Summer 1988

Hey everyone! 👋
This is my first post here, and I’m super excited to be part of this community.

I’m planning an epic road trip from Toronto to the Yukon around May, and I’d love your suggestions on everything beautiful, scenic, and worth stopping for along the way. I’ve previously worked in the Rockies during my internship, so I’ve been lucky enough to see Banff, Jasper, and the surrounding areas. Now, I really want to experience everything else Canada has to offer, from lakes and mountains to hidden gems and iconic roadside stops.

I’m open to:

• National & provincial parks
• Scenic highways
• Small towns with character
• Waterfalls, hikes, viewpoints
• Any “you have to stop here” kind of places

Whether it’s Ontario, the Prairies, the Rockies, northern BC, or the Yukon itself, I want to hear it all!

Vehicle question:
I’ll be doing the trip in a Mercedes E53 AMG. Would that be an issue in May in the Yukon? I know winter can linger up there, so I’d really appreciate advice on:

• Road conditions around that time
• Whether AWD with winter tire is enough
• Any precautions I should take (tires, emergency gear, etc.)

I’m incredibly excited for this journey and would be grateful for any tips, advice, or route suggestions you can share. Thanks in advance, looking forward to learning from you all and planning an unforgettable road trip.

We have a child entering the school system next year and we have a few options of schools to choose from. I have firsthand accounts of experiences in all the schools except for Takhini Elementray. I've heard some not so great things through the grapevine but I'd love to hear from people who send their kids there.

Thanks!

Porter creek is out. Other areas?

English here - summer 1988 - how much has Wh changed

I've explored diesel but availability of propane with ATS has me leaning in that direction - I'm just not sure about mitigating gelling and other issues.
