Where can I get this done aside from the health centre? The earliest appointment is Nov 29 unfortunately.

Hi friends! Looking for advice on how to break up a drive from Whitehorse to Edmonton mid December. We are for sure staying at Liard river on the first day of driving, but wondering what I should expect for realistic driving time/places to stop along the way. How many days should I expect it to take me etc.? TIA

Pc power is out and we only have electrical heat 😯

This Friday October 25, 2024 around 11:00 am to 1:00 pm, from my drive from Faro to Whitehorse, an occupant of an old pick up truck was tailgating me when the road was very slippery and he could have overtaken me if he wanted to but didn’t. When I looked at my rear view mirror he was steering the vehicle side to side and this was clear act of aggressive driving.

At one point there was another pick up truck in between his vehicle and mine but he overtook that vehicle and cut in front of me only to pull his handbrake for the vehicle to spin. He then pulled over to the shoulder and when I passed him by you can see he is filled with anger. The other vehicle behind me slow down and not sure what he told him but he quickly sped and moved far away from the reckless driver of the vehicle and mine.

This is his description as I didn’t have a dash camera. White male wearing Men's Scotch Plaid Flannel Shirt, Traditional Fit. He had beard and had dark shades on. He was driving an old grey truck with a white dog at the front. This kind of behaviour is very dangerous and unpredictable. I ended up seeing him driving on 4th Avenue in downtown around 4:40 pm.

Whoever you are remember every action has consequences. Your reckless behaviour will eventually catch up with you. Someone will record you and send it to the RCMP oneday. Next time if I see this behaviour again I will definitely report it to the RCMP. I didn’t have cell service at that point and sometimes you can drive longer distances before you meet another vehicle coming.

Once I got to Whitehorse the first thing I did was inform my supervisor about this incident.

Continue doing this and am sure Yukon is small and next time with your picture and vehicle people will identify you.

I am thinking of visiting northern yukon during winter and i was thinking of buying a car, would an awd sedan be ok or should i look into suvs. Cheap winter beater only ofc.

Have we seen them anywhere in Whitehorse this weekend?

What is a good way to meet new people here? I am too broke to go to the bars but I'm a little stuck on meeting new folks after living here for a bit now.

I’m traveling through Whitehorse, Haines Junction, and Haines. I plan to hike and spend time outdoors. Do you think I should have an emergency GPS/SOS communicator? I’m thinking it could help if I have car issues or if I get lost, but is service that spotty? Is it worth it for a solid female traveler?

Would anyone be in or around the Whitehorse area that has any car knowledge? Me and a group of friends are a part of a caravan trip and we broke down in Whitehorse. We have a 85’ gmc Ventura and it’s not wanting to start up. All the places in town are busy cause of the weather and snow and we’re running out of options. Any help would be appreciated!!

I'm debating ATV tracks, anybody live in YT have any experience they can share? Some concerns are things like, driving in slush, having to thaw tracks after driving in slush, deep mountain powder capabilities etc.

Been reading lots, but nobody knows YT conditions like Yukoners!

Thnkz

I have a goal of visiting every Canadian capital, and I've decided that I need to do the Territories sooner than later, since climate change is quickly affecting the iconic North 😫

I'm planning a trip up to the Yukon between October-December 2025 (more likely between Thanksgiving and Remembrance Day). My plan is a 10-day trip: 2 days in Whitehorse, 6 days to drive up and explore Dawson City-Klondike area, 2 days back in Whitehorse.

A few things I have in mind for activities: -museums/cultural centre's -dog sledding -ice climbing -outfitting/trapping -Yukon riverboat tour -aurora borealis

Given the time of year I'm aiming for, is there a specific period you'd recommend I come (or avoid)? Are there any festivals or events that I may want to anchor my trip around? Are there any activities (listed or unlisted) that are best enjoyed during that time (or isn't possible)?

Thanks!

I know there’s asbestos but what was it and when did they decide to tear it down. I hardly go near there and have only recently saw it.

How does one prepare for this? Serious answers, please

Question: when its -40 or -45 or -30...would nitrogen still shrink in the tires? and we would have to top it up?

I know with air we have to keep topping up as it gets colder.

Thank you in advance for your response.

I'm doing a family tree for a friend and trying to track down some information for him regarding his great-grandparents deaths. They were murdered in Watson Lake in the 1970's, the case was solved at the time. I've tried searching newspaper archives and I have been scouring Ancestry for results, with no luck on death registration/certificates or even burial info and limited information from extended family. If you could point me in the right direction, that would be wonderful, or if you happen to be familiar with the area and the crime I'd be happy to post my question.

Hi If one doesn't find some items in dawson, is it possible to order them from WH? What's the procedure and delivery cost? 😊 thanks

One of my tires is showing that it is under pressure but I can't just add more air into it because it contains nitrogen air. I called up Toyota and they said that they don't carry any nitrogen in their shop and they don't know if other shops have it.

Does anyone know a shop that has nitrogen air?

Thanks!

Solo traveling through the Yukon and Alaska for the first ten days of November. Would you recommend hiking boots or (LL Bean) winter boots, or to bring both? Thanks!

New to home ownership but not the territory. Interested in a generator for power outages. We are two people, wanting to keep the furnace, fridge/freezer and a few lights going. Best way to connect it to the house? Thanks!

Hello! I am from the NWT. I was wondering if anyone here knows if the Nahanni Range Road towards Tungsten, NT is plowed/maintained in the winter. I have driven the road before and am familiar with the area, but only in the fall. I have some snowshoeing aspirations this winter but don’t want to make the long drive out from Fort Simpson and be disappointed.

Thanks!
