The roots of Yukon’s Filipino community can be traced back to one remarkable woman: Socorro "Cory" Alfonso. Cory sparked a wave of migration by becoming one of the territory’s first 10 Filipina nannies. Each woman helped 20 to 30 family members and friends find work and settle in Canada.

Across the Yukon, you'll find vernacular log buildings. Vernacular buildings are functional and reflect local materials and knowledge. Logs were used to build cabins, caches, stores, and roadhouses. Some still stand at historic sites like Huchá Hudän/ Fort Selkirk and Gindèhchik/Rampart House.

As the snow melts, Gold Rush-era artifacts are exposed along the Whitehorse waterfront. They might seem like good souvenirs, or debris to clean up, but leave them be! It is unlawful to disturb these items. Many artifacts are made of iron which quickly deteriorates once removed from the river.
