We flew into Fairbanks, Alaska late on the night of June 19 where we met Mark Os wood from the University of Alaska at Fairbanks. We were immediately introduced to two of the things Alaska is famous for; long days, it was perfectly light at midnight, and the mosquitoes which gave us no mercy as we walked from the airport terminal to the car. Dr. Oswood graciously arranged for us to use a four-wheel drive suburban on our trek across Northwestern Canada. We stocked up on supplies and started out on our journey by noon the next day. We headed southeast towards Tetlin Junction and then back North on the “Top of the World Highway” (Taylor Highway) towards Dawson and the beginning of the Dempster Highway. The Dempster is one of only two roads in North America that cross the Arctic Circle. It is a scenic 395 km north to Inuvik on this road. We collected nearly every stream and river, including the Klondike, Blackstone, Ogilvie, Peel and Mackenzie crossing this rugged terrain. By pure chance we found ourselves camping on the Arctic Circle the night of the Summer Solstice (June 22).

    Profileproposal of Title the Alaska Highway

    ECONOMIC PROFILEPROPOSAL OF TITLE THE ALASKA HIGHWAY Submitted to: Government of Yukon Department of Economic Development Prepared by: InterGroup Consultants Ltd. in association with PROLOG Canada February 2016 PRO LOG CANADA Economic Profile of the Alaska Highway February 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This economic profile report examines how the Alaska Highway's traffic flows and ongoing operation make a difference today, and are expected to make a difference in the future, to valued economic and social components in those areas where the Highway is located, including public and private businesses, resource use, government, tourism, security and emergency response, and communities. The Alaska Highway (the “Highway”) is a key interjurisdictional corridor built during World War II as a secure inland military supply route. It extends from Dawson Creek in northeastern British Columbia to Fairbanks in Alaska, passing through Fort Nelson, B.C. and the southern areas of Yukon (including Watson Lake, Whitehorse and Haines Junction) as well as Tok and Delta Junction in Alaska. It includes the Haines Road connecting Haines Junction to the port of Haines, Alaska. The economic profile of the Highway is examined by considering the difference between economic and social effects of traffic flows and highway operation (1) “with the Highway” and (2) “without the Highway”, i.e., a scenario assuming an alternative transportation regime absent the key features of the Highway. Heavy commercial traffic activity entering and exiting Yukon through the Highway and other gateways was estimated in this study for 2014. Other Highway traffic and related Highway maintenance and capital costs were also examined. Scenario without the Highway - Alternative Transportation Regime Long before the Alaska Highway, "Inside Passage" or marine access was well developed for passengers and freight through the Alaska ports of Skagway (for access to and from Yukon) and Anchorage as well as Valdez (for access to and from interior Alaska).

NORTH SLOPE KEEPING THE YUKON CLEAN Introduction The Yukon has a long history of development ventures such as pipelines, mining, and military activity. This brought change to the territory and influenced the local economy. Many of these historic development projects left waste and environmental contamination that we continue to address today. In the 1990s, Canada committed to cleaning up waste material abandoned on northern land under its responsibility — a commitment that continues to this day. Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) is responsible for this clean up. In 2003, most of our responsibilities for the land and its resources were transferred to the Government of Yukon Beaufort Sea through the Devolution Transfer Agreement (DTA). However, INAC agreed to complete the clean up of the identified waste sites in the DTA. INAC also agreed to clean up waste sites that occurred before 2003 but were not discovered at the time of devolution.
