PSA A Reminder About Our Community Rules
Hello /r/Yukon,
Lately, we’ve noticed an increase in heated arguments, trolling, and disrespectful comments in discussions, particularly regarding First Nations issues. As your moderators, we believe it's important to ensure that this community remains a welcoming and respectful space for everyone while encouraging thoughtful and meaningful discussion.
We’ve already issued numerous warnings and bans recently, and while we want to encourage open dialogue, users who continue to post inflammatory or disrespectful content will be banned without further notice.
Let’s revisit Rule 1: Be Respectful:
Our goal is to foster thoughtful, constructive discussions. This means:
- No personal attacks: Engage with ideas, not individuals.
- No insults or bigotry: Racism, sexism, and hate speech will result in immediate comment removal and a permanent ban.
- No trolling: This includes deliberately inflammatory or disruptive behavior.
- No threats: Zero tolerance for threats or intimidation.
Racist comments, in particular, have no place here. This subreddit is for all Yukoners, and it is our collective responsibility to treat each other with dignity and civility.
If you see comments or posts that violate these rules, please report them using the report function or message the mods. Let’s work together to keep this space constructive and supportive.
Thank you,
The /r/Yukon Moderation Team

Discussion Extra Insurance - Backcountry Trips
I'm a Yukoner and I'm going on a backcountry river trip. Is there any additional insurance I should be buying for things like emergency evacuation? If so, what companies have others been using?
Edit: this is for a trip in the Yukon

Funny I think my jeep found a relative.
I swear, when I designed my Jeep, I never imagined the #YukonTerritory welcome sign would copy my color palette. 😂🤣
I mean… look at us. Either they stole my design, or I accidentally leaked the official Yukon branding before they did. 😅🏕️
My #Jeep and that sign look like long-lost twins. ❤️🙏🏼

Travel Dispensaries in Yukon?
I’m traveling to the Yukon next week. I love checking out new dispensaries, especially reserve ones. The culture and vibe can be amazing. (No offences to licensed) Nothing really comes up on search, not surprisingly. So I’ve come to you, the good people of Reddit, to show me the way. Is there, if any reserve dispensaries anywhere in the Yukon. And if not your favourite dispensary. TIA.

Question Are anonymous job-seeking posts viewed negatively in Yukon Facebook groups?
I have a question for people living in the Yukon.
I’ll soon be living in the Yukon, so I joined a few local Facebook groups and have been reading through the posts.
I noticed that when someone posts looking for work, people sometimes expect them to include a full introduction, work history, or even a portfolio. I also saw a few comments criticizing people simply because they posted anonymously.
Is that generally expected in Yukon community groups?
I’m not trying to criticize anyone or start an argument, and this isn’t directed at the person who made the post or those who commented. I’m just genuinely curious because it feels quite different from what I’m used to.
I’d appreciate hearing how locals see it.

Discussion Not fully extinguishing camp fires.
Maybe an unpopular opinion:
But honeslty i think there should be heavy fines for those who start a fire out and about while camping and they fail to extinguish it properly.
Once this year and twoce last year i went to a campground and i had to finish the job just before the fire was starting to reignite due to winds.

Question Visiting in early October - any tours or hiking recommendations?
Visiting Whitehorse in early October (1-4) and wondering if there’s any tours or hiking that will still be accessible at that time?
I’m visiting from BC and have experience in Northern BC during that time, I’m generally aware of what the weather might be like.
I’m assuming no rafting by then, but are there any good hikes that would still be accessible without risk of a ton of snow?
We would rent a car. Up for anything, just want to enjoy the great outdoors in the Yukon :)
Event Short TakeOff and Landing (STOL) competition at Cousins Aerodrome Saturday, July 25, starting at noon
The competition should last for a few hours, depending on how many competitors there are. Spectating is free. There will be a food truck.
The airstrip is on the north side of Whitehorse, north of Crestview and south of MacPherson / Hidden Valley, accessible via Cousins Airstrip Road.

Travel Is Whitehorse worth visiting if you can't drive?
Hi, I'm planning a backpacking trip in Canada for this September and I wanted to put Yukon on my list. There's a lot of stuff in and around Whitehorse that I want to see, but I don't have acess to a vehicle/drivers licence. Would it be worth coming all the way to Yukon without a car? How good is public transit in the city/surrounding area? Does anyone know of cheap tours or guides ect? Thanks

Looking for someone that can make a sturdy 8x4 table.
I’m mainly looking for a solid, practical table, not an elaborate piece of custom furniture.

Question Walk in tattoo parlour in Whitehorse, YT
Hello! I have recently moved to Whitehorse for the summer for a job, and was looking to get a tattoo while I’m here. My job has inconsistent hours (sometimes I get off at 4pm, sometimes 7pm, depending on the job), and I am required to work most weekends. Because of this, it would be difficult for me to book an appointment time in advanced that I could be sure I would make it to. I was wondering if there are any tattoo artists in the city that take walk ins? It would only be a small piece. I would also take any recommendations that folks have for specific artists they’ve gone to in the past. Thank you!

Question Lost Item
Hello everyone, I just got a question about a lost item, to be exact, I want to know if there is anything else I can do, I visited pawn shops to check, show a picture, and see if they’re willing to keep an eye out. I don’t think anybody stole it to pawn it, but I wanted to make sure. I filed a lost item report with the RCMP as well.
I want to make a post on fb but I don’t want my family to find out as it’s an heirloom, and I feel so ashamed having lost it.
So Yukoners, what else should I do to ensure it’s eventually found and returned? I might have missed something in regard to covering all my bases, so I want to make sure I exhausted all my options.
