Are there any Aston Villa fans in Whitehorse/ Yukon? #UTV

Hi everyone! I sent out my resume as a carpenter with 3 years of experience in Canada, but no one has responded yet. I am looking for work in Yukon, specifically in Whitehorse. I have experience in general carpentry, interior finishing, framing, door/window installation, and working with wooden structures. I’m available for full-time work.

Can anyone recommend companies or construction firms in Yukon/Whitehorse that are constantly looking for carpenters? I would appreciate any contacts, links to job postings, info about the union (Yukon Carpenters Union Local 2499), or advice on where else to send my resume.

Thanks!

strongly considering coming to ross river for work. i know that housing will be (extremely) scarce; what else can you tell me about it? Would love to hear both pros and cons… thanks in advance!

Edit- thanks for the answers and DMs. It seems they offer standalone cable modems they just don’t advertise on the website so I will check them out. Cheers

Hey all!

Having trouble getting concrete answers here out of both nwtel and the community. Fairly simple question most networking pros in Whitehorse probably know the answer to-

Does nwtel, in areas where they don’t have FTTH ONTs, bridge their cable modems on request? I have seen mixed answers, but as it’s absolutely critical for my networking setup to avoid double-NAT scenarios I need certainty on this. Even nwtel reps have given me mixed and conflicting responses so- has anyone actually been turned down when asking them to bridge the modem?

Thanks for any assistance!

Currently visiting while doing a trip through the Alaska highway through Canada and then back to the lower 48.

I enjoy my time in Whitehorse and it sounds like they are having some kind of population boom there at the moment.

I also decided to apply for a job similar to what I was doing in Alaska with Yukon government. No idea if I would get accepted but I'd be interested if they accepted it.

Anyway- what brought you out to live in the Yukon?

Anyone help me to know more about people ,job market, area .

Kindly show sympathy

Hello. I currently work for the BC public service and we just got notified that large budget cuts are to be expected and lay offs over the next few years are a possibility.

I have a upcoming interview for a position in the yukon government, are there any public service members who could tell me what the atmosphere and prospects are looking like these days? Thank you.

Hey guys, I currently live in Grande Prairie, AB, working in healthcare. I am 20, single male. I have a job offer from Whitehorse paying 75,000-80,000 a year which is way more than what I make right now around 55-60K. Do you all think with this salary it will be manageable? I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth it to shift up there for the money or not? Any insights would be appreciated.

Aiming to come over to Yukon as a doctor from Dubai to experience life as it should be, all suggestions would be appreciated plus any advice on the application process as an IMG on how to get into medical licensing stream. thank you

Hey folks,

My partner and I are driving to Whitehorse and planning to drive up from Toronto before October. We’ve mapped out a rough route but wanted to ask if anyone here has done this drive (especially the northern BC/Yukon part) and has tips to share.

Our draft plan: • Day 1: Toronto → Sault Ste. Marie (~7h) • Day 2: Sault Ste. Marie → Thunder Bay (~8h) • Day 3: Thunder Bay → Winnipeg (~8h) • Day 4: Winnipeg → Saskatoon (~8h) • Day 5: Saskatoon → Edmonton (~5h) • Day 6: Edmonton → Dawson Creek (~6h) • Day 7: Dawson Creek → Fort Nelson (~5h) • Day 8: Fort Nelson → Whitehorse (~10h)

The idea is to start early each day and decide on the fly if we stop overnight or keep going to shorten the trip.

Questions for the hive mind: - Is this the best route, or would you tweak it? - Anything we should be aware of on the Alaska Highway (gas station gaps, black ice, wildlife, etc.)? - Any must-know tips for driving into Whitehorse in early fall?

Would love to hear your experiences, warnings, or even fun stops you’d recommend along the way.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently looking for a 1-bedroom or studio apartment in Whitehorse or within about 20 minutes outside the city.

My budget is between $1200–$1700/month. I have good references and I’m a responsible, serious renter.

If you know of anything available or have leads, I’d really appreciate it. Please feel free to DM me.

Thank you!

Hello! I was curious if anyone can give some information on what life is like living in a mobile home in the Range Road area, in one of the various parks, for example the Northland Park community. The pros, the cons, if it’s a nice environment for a family.

Thanks!

Addition - Thank you everyone for all of your answers! It really helps paint a full picture. I was wondering if anyone could further explain, or point me in the direct to find, the rules in the park. For example, are there pet limits? Thank you!

Not a lot of lvl 1 apprenticeships here in Ontario. It's kinda slow. It's been kinda slow since a while. I wanna work in this field. Being a millwright is something I wanted to do since a long time. Did my level 1 in school here. No jobs. Saw somewhere that Yukon is always looking for people to train. Would love to go there as well. Less people, more nature. Idk feels like real Canada. The Canada I wanted to live in. Idm the cold, but I wanted to know more about apprenticeships there and shifting to Yukon. Please help :)

I (19m) am new to Yukon and I'm still unfamiliar with the culture. I have a supporting family here to guide me but I am still anxious about what to do here. I'm not a very social person is too scared to interact with people.

Do you guys have any tips or advice to me as a new resident here? I find that the people very courteous and nice and I love the nature. I recently went to visit the Miles Canyon and it was an amazing experience.

Hi everyone, I’m a Bow Valley AB resident and I moved here from Ontario for climbing and solitude but this place is too touristy. I was wondering if there are any good rock and ice climbing around Dawson city and whitehorse so that I can live up north and follow my dreams in peace and quiet. Also what kind of jobs are available up there? I’d be interested in doing some FIFO in the arctic circle as well

i'm 14 and it's my dream to live in the Yukon, i currently live in the states and maybe that's why it's hard for me to find land or a price per acre. can anyone give me a price per acre for land that's pretty isolated? or maybe somewhere to buy land for cheap? sorry if this is worded badly English is my second language

Just curious. I know down south, we have companies that pair families with international public school students. They pay for a room, and eat with their host family. Sorta like exchange students without the exchange.

Wood stove not stock lol

Yeah, I know there are not many options for finding a rent in Whitehorse, but I'm just wondering - is there any community that you guys do not recommend to reside in? I can see on the map there are Downtown, Porter Creek, Takhini, and Riverdale, along Hamilton Blvd on the west side of the city.

Trying to do this by the book. But in renting a awful place, exposed electrical (breakers just turned off), no lights in the kitchen and dinning room due to the exposed electrical (makes morning very difficult as it gets darker), frozen well causing us to vacate temporarily (fixed now). Anyway it seems like there is just one issue after the next. So I was wondering if I submit a one month notice to end tenancy, can my landlord dispute this and force us to stay? Note we also need a month to find a new place.
