    It's The Yukon, officially! The Yukon government made it official in 2021. Great video. I love it when people learn how incredible The Yukon is but I wish it would remain Canada's best kept secret. One of the most magical things about living in The Yukon is that we can experience all the beauty without running in to crowds. :)

    I've been living in Yellowknife for about nine years. I've traveled and worked all over NT, NU and YK. I'm just finishing college this year, and hoping to relocate to the Yukon. It's hands-down absolutely amazing. Spent three weeks in Haines Junction this summer when we evacuated due to wildfires. Left a piece of myself there, it feels like.
    Housing market in Whitehorse is better then Yellowknife.

    It’s “The Yukon”. Born and raised here. They tried to change it legally through the local government, but there was a lot of local distaste for it just being “Yukon” with out “The”. It was legally changed back a couple of years ago to “The Yukon” but there are still people who think it should have stayed as is. Historically though, it has been “The Yukon” for much longer. It had a brief period minus “The” but if you just look at time it was legally one name versus the other. Anyways, it is “The Yukon”

    I remember not learning much about the Territories in elementary school. For the longest time, I thought that Great Slave and Great Bear Lakes were in northern Alberta.
    Since the fires that prompted the evacuation of Yellowknife, I became interested in Canada's territories and have a trip to NWT next July. I am also planning a similar trip to the Yukon.

  • @Sc00terNut-zq3gs

    You aren't wrong about our education system teaching us little about the Territories. I always imagined Yellowknife to be this desolate remote outpost in inhospitable terrain with a lack of roads. I was surprised to learn that not only is it a city, but that it's located on Great Slave Lake. As a kid I thought Great Slave and Great Bear lakes were in northern Alberta and Saskatchewan. Anyway, I'm visiting Yellowknife in 4 weeks and plan do visit Yukon next year.

    I think the answer to the Yukon question is that if you are referring to WHICH territory, you would say The Yukon as opposed to The Northwest territory. However if you are just referring to it NOT differentiating from the other two, you would just call it Yukon.
