The Evolution of the Yukon Medevac Program in an Environment of Fiscal Restraint
Medicine in Canada The evolution of the Yukon Medevac Program in an environment of fiscal restraint Valorie Lynn Cunningham, BSc, MD he Yukon Territory is a vast area of 483 350 km2 over which 32 000 inhabitants are scat- T tered; 24 000 of those reside in Whitehorse. Aside from a 4-bed cottage hospital in Watson Lake, the 52-bed Whitehorse General Hospital is the only other hospital in the Yukon Territory. The Whitehorse Gen- eral Hospital offers the services provided by general and family practitioners, a general surgeon, a pediatrician and an obstetrician-gynecologist. There are no resident radiologists, internists, cardiologists or orthopedic sur- geons in Whitehorse, and there are no CT-scan services. The referral centres for Whitehorse General Hospital are in Vancouver and Edmonton, approximately 2500 km away.

Economic Profile Series: Whitehorse, Yukon Spring 2020 This series looks at communities across Canada and highlights key labour market statistics and the role that immigration has played, or could play, to help these communities flourish.

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. Vehicles are not allowed in the dog park. Volunteers at the Dawson City checkpoint are invited to join us at our Yukon Quest Appreciation Night.

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. -

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. -
