What exactly are they taking credit for here? inaccurate financial forecasting, a mild fire season in Yukon? I don’t think they’ve done anything directly with their actions to save money or make the deficit better. Had we had an average fire season this year that deficit would have been probably worse than forecast.

Hey Reddit, my name is Ariel and I’m a CBC Yukon producer digging into claims surrounding money owed by Evergreen to various businesses in Whitehorse due to insolvency. If you have any information on this and/or are owed money please reach out at [Ariel.tozman@cbc.ca](mailto:Ariel.tozman@cbc.ca).

Dear Yukoners, please save me from staying at the best western again. What hotel(s) do you recommend? We come up from Juneau at least once a year, now with twin infants. Price is not an issue as long as it’s clean. Thanks in advance.

I wasn't going to post something until I saw this headline from CBC North:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/dozens-march-in-whitehorse-to-honour-missing-and-murdered-indigenous-women-9.7367924

"Dozens march in Whitehorse to honour missing and murdered Indigenous women"

Just dozens?

I feel like these events used to get hundreds or thousands of people.

I saw fewer orange shirts this year, fewer people out and it feels like even the routine "government department posts a picture for social media" type stuff has slowed down.

Does anyone else feel the same, that Sept 30 was noticeably smaller this year in the Yukon?

Any Yukoners want to spit in Piet Hoekstra's poutine?

Already more than 274,000 residents of Canada have signed this petition, focused on reining in the poor conduct of U.S. Ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra.

Hi guys what’s an actual size of a full cord of firewood? Is it 4x4x8? TIA

Hello, we recently have a home with propane heating which is very new to us. Borealis has mentioned needing to buy a pad for it that is upwards of $1000. Is this normal, or what have you guys done about this?

Or anything else we should consider and watch for with propane heating.

Any help is appreciated :)

My girlfriend and I are visiting Whitehorse mid November for 4 nights, the sole purpose is to hopefully see the Northern Lights - since it’s my gf’s dream to see them!

I know it’s gonna be super cold but curious if anyone can suggest other activities or things to do while we’re there!

Thank you!

Has anyone here had tattoo removal done locally? If so, what were your results like?

I reached out to the one and only business in Whitehorse that offers tattoo removal and asked if I could see a portfolio or some before-and-after photos of previous work, just so I could get an idea of the results they’ve achieved.

They told me they don’t take photos of their work because of client privacy, so unfortunately they don’t have anything they can show me.

I totally understand respecting people’s privacy, but I was a little surprised there weren’t any before-and-after photos from clients who had consented to having their results shared. From looking at tattoo removal places elsewhere, it seems pretty common to have some examples of past results available.

Has anyone actually had tattoo removal done in Whitehorse, and were you happy with the results? How many sessions did you need, and how much fading/removal did you ultimately get?

I'm Caitrin Pilkington, a CBC reporter working on a story about it. Feel free to DM me.

I heard on the radio the Education Review is now looking for input from the public for their review of the department of education. It will be interesting to see what they come up with this time around. relevant links etc... https://yeir.ca/

Just putting feelers out into the universe to see if there's anyone else in the Yukon keen to start a Yukon-based agrihood?

So as per the title, I'm planning on going to Whitehorse sometime between march 15-30th. I've been once before in the summer and loved it, but this will be a very different vacation as I wont have a car and I hear it's still pretty cold and snowy even in late march. Luckily, I absolutely live for the cold, and am excited to be in a northern winter wonderland. I have a friend that lives in whitehorse so I can travel to neighbouring communities but I probably wouldn't go farther than Carcross. So, my questions are:

1. Do I need specialty winter clothes? I know it'll probably be below freezing, But are snow sunglasses, parkas, and multiple layers of pants necessary?
2. Will non-essential stores downtown be open?
3. Do you guys have any hidden gems? (this is the most important question for sure)
4. Are flights cancelled regularly? I mean no offense, but I wouldn't want to be stuck in whitehorse long-term in the case of weather problems.

(I know I could've just googled this, but the only relevent responses would've been ai, and I like interacting with people!)

In light of all the BS coming from the Trump/US, are you still going to Skagway and/or Haines??

I can’t bring myself to it and won’t. As much as I like the people I know there, I cannot in good conscience support anything US.

What about you?

Construction spending at $135.7 million in 2026, up 11.7% since 2025 with residential construction being the primary driver at $109.5 million in 2026 up 16.3% since 2025.

We are driving from Haines to Homer starting October 18. Any tips and advice on driving that route (Haines-Haines Junction-Tok-Palmer-Homer) around that time? I assume there will be snow and ice already on the road? We have driven it before in summer but never this late in the season.
