What do you think about Yukon? Would you move here? Would you visit? Have you been? Also, is it Yukon or The Yukon? I can't seem to find a proper answer anywhere!

It's The Yukon, officially! The Yukon government made it official in 2021. Great video. I love it when people learn how incredible The Yukon is but I wish it would remain Canada's best kept secret. One of the most magical things about living in The Yukon is that we can experience all the beauty without running in to crowds. :)

[@Qrayon]

The freezing cold will keep the crowds away.

[@michelecaley4772]

I have lived in the Yukon for many, many years, It is, The Yukon!!! The one and only.

[@wendingourway]

Spending a week in Whitehorse and area was just not enough when I visited the area way back in 1989! Lots to explore and learn! Bruce and Otis

[@ApexGeography]

It looks absolutely incredible. Really want to go up there someday!

[@vincent_hall]

Hope you get back there. I hope to visit too, when that's possible.

[@mylientran2455]

Love your video; it is beautiful, and your helpful advice.

Great video, Yukon is added to the list to be visited. Thank you.

I spent a few months in Yukon. Your video is very accurate. And indeed, whatever one' s goal, seeing Yukon is one of the most beautiful and unforgettable experience in life.

[@Sc00terNut]

I remember not learning much about the Territories in elementary school. For the longest time, I thought that Great Slave and Great Bear Lakes were in northern Alberta. Since the fires that prompted the evacuation of Yellowknife, I became interested in Canada's territories and have a trip to NWT next July. I am also planning a similar trip to the Yukon.

[@runnerfig]

Went to the Yukon just a few weeks ago. Only stayed long enough to eat, but that allowed me to cross it off the list. Newfoundland will finish off the Provinces for me. Still need the other 2 territories. Going to Hawaii next summer to get my last State.

[@Sc00terNut-zq3gs]

You aren't wrong about our education system teaching us little about the Territories. I always imagined Yellowknife to be this desolate remote outpost in inhospitable terrain with a lack of roads. I was surprised to learn that not only is it a city, but that it's located on Great Slave Lake. As a kid I thought Great Slave and Great Bear lakes were in northern Alberta and Saskatchewan. Anyway, I'm visiting Yellowknife in 4 weeks and plan do visit Yukon next year.

[@MFjackson]

most people in the yukon prefer saying the yukon , but legally it’s just yukon

[@vincent_hall]

Looks like you have to fly from Vancouver, which means changes: multiple flights. Whitehorse is about as far north as the Shetland Islands! Wow, that is north!

[@adam62273]

Highly recommend having a firearm and a firearms licence before going to such a remote area. Not only is it a huge part of the culture but it is also necessary for predator defense

[@wayneharris9263]

Excuse me. I lived there for 23 years and never once needed a gun.

[@trevortaylor5501]

Having lived in whithorse I remember the dairy queen was a walk in restaurant. Was surprised for being up there. I remember seeing a full sized grizzly sunbathing on the alaskan highway that ran through the yukon. It's called The Yukon by the way. Most beautiful place I've ever seen! Fun fact it's expensive to ship grass for front lawns their so they have 3\4 inch gravel for lawns. I thought that was strange.

[@vincent_hall]

Why ship grass? Is the soil not good for grass seeds? Could transport the seeds only.

@@serkanister3620 I'm also interested in moving to Yukon or Northern Ontario. Both seem like an escape for me from unaffordable crazy housing expenses, but I'm still not sure which is the better choice... Or maybe it just depends on where can I get a job from lol.

[@vincent_hall]

Good luck with the move: work, property, transport, etc. I'm sure you'll afford much more property in the Yukon.

Please make video about Nunavut and NW territories Thanks! I like your channel 😇

[@PlayNowWorkLater]

It’s “The Yukon”. Born and raised here. They tried to change it legally through the local government, but there was a lot of local distaste for it just being “Yukon” with out “The”. It was legally changed back a couple of years ago to “The Yukon” but there are still people who think it should have stayed as is. Historically though, it has been “The Yukon” for much longer. It had a brief period minus “The” but if you just look at time it was legally one name versus the other. Anyways, it is “The Yukon”

[@vincent_hall]

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Hi from the UK. 🇬🇧

[@AbdouBefree]

I want to live there ! At least i want to try ! ...

[@kettlebellcarnivore-vr5cw]

I've been living in Yellowknife for about nine years. I've traveled and worked all over NT, NU and YK. I'm just finishing college this year, and hoping to relocate to the Yukon. It's hands-down absolutely amazing. Spent three weeks in Haines Junction this summer when we evacuated due to wildfires. Left a piece of myself there, it feels like. Housing market in Whitehorse is better then Yellowknife.

Hi, i should finsh college this year and think to move to yukon can you tell me more about it?!!

Did...did you say the "Alkan" highway? Its the Alaska highway

[@ApexGeography]

"The Alaska Highway, also known as The Alaskan Highway or The Alcan highway" - All three names are acceptable/accurate.

[@Blackpilled-Chud-Named-Shane]

my goal is to buy land in the Yukon and move up from BC. British Columbia is becoming way too populated. They keep bringing in more people and there hasn't been any development outside the Vancouver area.

[@MW-nOttawa]

99% of BC is as empty as the Yukon. Kelowna and Golden etc are very far south from Dawson Creek and the communities near the Alaska panhandle

[@natange1436]

It's "The Yukon" but you might say just Yukon in a sentence like "protesting Yukon resources."
