Department of Tourism and Culture

A Message from the Hon. Elaine Taylor

As Minister of Tourism and Culture it is my pleasure to welcome you to our web site and to invite you to explore the many services and programs offered by the department.

I encourage you spend some time exploring the site and to read with interest about our cultural programs, including historic sites, heritage resources, arts, and Yukon Archives. If you are a visitor to Yukon or involved in the tourism industry we also have a number of other resources and links that will be of great interest to you.

Whether you are seeking information to visit in Yukon, to share with family and friends, to complete a school project, to begin a tourism business, to market your tourism business nationally or internationally – we are here to help.

Never before has there been a more exciting time to be involved with the culture and tourism sectors in Yukon.  The outstanding quality of our visual and performing artists, the high calibre of our museums, and the range and diversity of our historic sites contribute to the exceptional quality of life we experience in Yukon. The travel services we provide to Yukon visitors and tourism operators are important contributors to the continued success of the Yukon economy.

As you explore our web site please remember that Tourism and Culture staff are happy to answer your questions and help you find the information you need. I encourage you to contact them for assistance.

Yukon is about Larger than Life experiences that reflect the beauty and wonder of our great land. I hope that through exploring our web site you will begin to feel a part of this grandeur.
