Changes: Yukon

Latest revision as of 19:40, 11 February 2018

Yukon is the westernmost and smallest of Canada's three federal territories. Whitehorse is the territorial capital.

The territory was split from the Northwest Territories in 1898. Receiving royal assent on March 27^th, 2002, the federal government modernized the Yukon Act to confirm "Yukon", rather than "Yukon Territory", as the current usage standard. Though officially bilingual (English and French), the Yukon Government also recognizes First Nations languages.

At 19,551 feet (5,959.14 meters), Yukon's Mount Logan, in Kluane National Park and Reserve, is the highest mountain in Canada and the second-highest on the North American continent (after Denali in the American republic of Alaska). The territory's climate is Arctic in the north (north of Old Crow), subarctic in the central region, between north of Whitehorse and Old Crow, and has a humid continental climate in the far south, south of Whitehorse and in areas close to the British Columbia border. Several rivers run through Yukon, some being the Stewart River, Peel River, and ever famous Yukon River.

The Territory was named after the Yukon River. The word Yukon means "Great River" or "Big Stream" in Gwich'in.
