There are no resident radiologists, internists, cardiologists or orthopedic sur- geons in Whitehorse, and there are no CT-scan services.

  • Services and Driving Information Yukon Checkpoints
    Services and Driving Information Yukon Checkpoints Dawson City - Population: 1,410 Teams have a mandatory 36-hour layover, and are likely to arrive in Dawson City between February 5 and 7. Tuesday and Wednesday are the best days to see teams arriving. Teams are likely to leave Dawson City after the mandatory 36-hour layover predicted between February 6 and 10. The Dawson City Mandatory Layover is also “Yukon Quest Time” in the Klondike capital! With teams’ arrivals spread out over a day or two, coupled with each team’s 36-hour stay, the entire City of Dawson City goes dog-crazy for five days! DRIVING Dawson City is approximately six hours from downtown Whitehorse, but can take much longer in bad weather. Checkpoint Services Purchase food and concessions during extended hours. No free accommodations available. All volunteers and visitors need to book their own accommodations in the local hotels. Events/Activities Dog Park Campground - visitors can walk to the Dog Park Campground across the river to see where the dog teams are camped for their mandatory layover. Visitors are welcome in the campground, but cannot enter individual campsites or disturb any of the dog teams. Their uninterrupted rest is essential during this time.

  • 4 Port and Supply Chain Competitiveness
    4 Port and Supply Chain Competitiveness This chapter provides a description of the competitive situation with respect to the use of the Port of Skagway for mineral concentrate, re-supply and potential intermodal traffic. 4.1 Mineral Concentrate – Port Competitiveness 4.1.1 Port versus Port Ports and their linking transport logistics chains for the Yukon’s major export products were assessed from the perspective of estimates of truck transport costs to competing ports. In the case of mineral development in the Yukon, the only practical ports for access are Skagway and Stewart. The following analysis thus focuses on these two ports. Very few route options exist for the movement of mineral concentrates: Alaska Highway (1) Robert Campbell Highway (4) Klondike Highway (2 and 8) Canol Road (6) Stewart Cassiar Highway (37) These are illustrated in Figure 4-1 below. FIGURE 4-1 Principal Highways SKAGWAY PORT DEVELOPMENT PLAN 4-1 4. PORT AND SUPPLY CHAIN COMPETITIVENESS As noted earlier in this report, mining activity is focused in areas surrounding Carmacks, Ross River and Watson Lake. Any mineral concentrate traffic would have to move through these communities to get to a port. Accordingly, it is useful to determine the distance from each of these communities to the ports of Skagway and Stewart and the associated transportation costs. Table 4-1 provides a summary of the distances, via various routes, to the ports at Skagway and Stewart. TABLE 4-1 Distance to Ports Origin Destination Routing One-way Distance (km) Carmacks Skagway Hwy 2 350 Stewart Hwy 2/1/37 1,218 The Skagway Advantage 868 km Ross River Skagway Hwy 4/6/1/8/2 435 Hwy 4/6/1/2 495 Hwy 4/2 579 Stewart Hwy 4/1/37 1,017 The Skagway Advantage 438 – 582 km Watson Lake Skagway Hwy 1/8/2 513 Hwy 1/2 573 Stewart Hwy 37 648 The Skagway Advantage 75 – 135 km As indicated in this Table, Skagway is much closer than Stewart for mines in the Carmacks and Ross River areas.

Alden ~j/~/'////, ,/// I, I J Author JOHN N. ALDEN is forest geneticist, Institute of Northern Forestry, 308 Tanana Drive, Fairbanks, Alaska 99775-5500. Abstract Alden, John N. 1988. Implications of research on Iodgepole pine introduction in interior Alaska. Res. Pap. PNW-RP-402. Portland, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 24 p. Growth, winter injury, and mortality were evaluated for 12-year-old trees of 11 subarctic Iodgepole pine provenances and a jack pine provenance at Fairbanks, Alaska. Provenances from northeast British Columbia grew more than 0.003 cubic meter of wood per tree annually from 9 to 12 years after outplanting. The species sustained snow damage and winter injury, however, and could be at high risk in long-term management on severe sites in Alaska. Provenance x site interactions were not significant for mortality, tree height, and volume after the same stock grew for 10 seasons at Fairbanks and Whitehorse, Yukon. Height and environmental injury of 3-year-old seedlings from 18 subarctic Iodgepole pine and a jack pine x Iodgepole pine swarm from Fort Nelson River, British Columbia, were evaluated at two sites in the interior and one site in south-central Alaska. Seedlings from high-altitude provenances grew more slowly and sustained less environmental injury after outplanting than seedlings from low-altitude prove- nances. More seedlings of the jack pine x Iodgepole pine provenance sustained injury, but they grew taller than seedlings of the Iodgepole pine provenances in the nursery and after two growing seasons in the field.

    INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS DAWJ-4 P. O. Box 2723, Yukon III: Whitehorse, Life on the Roads 1966 Yukon, Canada. August 27th, 1966. Richard H. Nolte, Esq., Executive Director, Institute of Current World Affairs, 366 Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10017, U .S .. Dear . Nolte: This summer we moved the sternwheeler "Klondike" to her last berth. It took three weeks to drag her 1,O00 tons across town from the old shipyards. Eight hundred pounds of Princess soap flakes were used to grease the skids. Now she sits on the west bank of the Yukon in a spanking new park on South hisky Flats. (Wnen will some home owners' association try changirlg the name to Riverside Park ?) The "Klondike" is a fitting memorial not only to the vanished fleet of riverboats but to life in Yukon before the roads came. Her last voyage was in 1958 but she was doomed twelve years before when the Alaska Highway was opened for civilian traffic. Prom that time on our life changed rapidly. There are now 16,000 people living in Yukon. AboUt 2,000 are Indian and the rest the usual hodge-podge of Anglo-SaxOn, Teuton, Slav and Celt. By Canadian standards the Territory is small, only 207,000 square miles or 5.4% of our national area. The Northwest Territories are six times larger and, for comparison, even Texas has a 60,000 square mile edge on us. Why are there still people in Yukon sixty years after the Klondike Gold Rush petered out ? A surprising number were born here.
