Yukon Territory

The Yukon is the smallest and most western territory of Canada, bordering Alaska. The Yukon is home to approximately 34, 200 people. Most of the people live in the capital city of Whitehorse. Yukon’s climate is mainly subarctic, and the territory is full of mountains, rivers, and forests. Mining was how the territory supported itself in the past, but now manufacturing, clothing, hydroelectricity, fishing, and the government sector are the primary drivers of the Yukon’s economy.
