We’ve moved! For the latest information on Tourism and Culture visit Facebook and Instagram at YukonTourismCulture and Bluesky at tcyukon.bsky.social.

Some amazing calendars have been created in the territory over the years, and we have proof! by the Research room of Yukon Archives to look at the selection of calendars our team has put together from our collections. The exhibit will be up for the rest of January.

On Dec. 1 the Philippines and Canada celebrated 75 years of diplomatic relations. We were proud to help @CFA_Yukon mark the occasion with a snow sculpture by local artists Joshua Lesage and Michel Gignac. Come on down to the Whitehorse Visitor Information Centre and check it out!

This November, the Yukon Archives are celebrating the life of Rolf Hougen. Mr Hougen was an avid supporter of the Yukon heritage community. Come see photographs of Mr Hougen as a teenager, watch his footage of life in Whitehorse, and much more. On display until November 29.
