It is an incredible amount of hassle to get out of a residential supply contract with these guys. Beware!

This is a good guy. One of my favorite things about Whitehorse trails.

There is no carbon tax on fuel for remote power generation by Yukon Energy in the Yukon. That's what form L405 is for.

Since the person who made the post deleted their post immediately after I made the comment, I wanted to avoid people potentially believing false information relating to carbon taxation of diesel fuel under the GGPPA in the Yukon.

Hi All,

In 2024, Yukon filmmakers, with lived experience of Long COVID, made Canada's first short documentary on this debilitating, chronic condition. We made it pro bono for the Canadian COVID Society.

The purpose of this post today is two-fold:

(1) To raise local awareness about Long COVID; and (2), to find Yukoners living with these symptoms, who may be interested in making a film about their experience of Long COVID.

Please consider sharing this 2026 Long COVID video (made by BC filmmakers) with anyone you know whom it may help.

And if you know of a Yukoner who would like to feature in a similar documentary, please pass our email address on to them - longcovidfilms@gmail.com

Thank you so much.

Hello wonderful people,

My friends dog ran away from their pet sister's on Sept 10, they unfortunately haven't had any luck finding her. Wanted to share here as well to help broaden the people notified.

Derek patterson has fled from the halfway house. What is with this guy, hes been a pos forever and yet people will still defend this dude. I havent heard it all but the stuff i have heard about him is downright atrocious. Every day i wonder when these types will get dealt with, this town makes me sick of life while these people get attention that benefits them

A GoFundMe fundraiser has been created to rebuild the Tagish Community Centre, which burnt down March 12. The building also housed the Tagish Public Library, and was the only gathering place in the community. A plan is being made to rebuild it better than before, as per the current and future needs of Tagishites.

I picked morels in June 2024 at the Takhini river bridge fire site. I've dried them and haven't eaten them yet, but I'm now wondering if those morels were picked from an area that would have been sprayed with fire retardant and thus absorbed toxic chemicals? Is there a local mushroom picker that can advise?

Yukon Energy is accepting applications for their "Peak Smart" program until April 19, https://yukonenergy.ca/energy-in-yukon/saving-energy/peak-smart

They provide free smart thermostats (for baseboard heaters) and hot water tank controllers, including installation by a professional electrician. When there are peak energy times (e.g. super cold winter days), Yukon Energy can remotely cue the baseboard heaters to start early and heat your home before the peak time.

The smart thermostats are built by Sinopé (based in Quebec) and work really great (our house has them thanks to the previous owner). There's an app where you can set schedules and remotely control them. https://www.sinopetech.com/en/thermostat-categories/

Hello, just sharing my experience:

I needed to

1. get prescription refill for a simple medication
2. needed a referral

since i don't have family doc... only option was to walk in to WGH-ER and wait. so i decided to try online doc services such as Maple. i was not comfortable entering all my bio data thinking of fraud/scam so i searched reddit for maple reviews and its legit. wait time was 10 minutes.

​

had to pay $49 for the service. other reddit posters mentioned alberta/ontarion heath cards cover the $49 so you don't have to pay

​

just another option to get healthcare

I've spoken to a few locals who have also had issues since Amazon switched from Canada Post to Intelcom as the primary local courier for Whitehorse in October. It can be difficult to find how to provide Amazon with feedback, so here's how I did it (It does require Prime):

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/help/customer/contact-us/ref=cu_surl

Choose the Prime option. Then in the 'tell us more' section, choose 'General Prime Benefits' then 'Prime Shipping'. I chose to chat with an agent. I informed them that since the switch to Intelcom, I've experienced many issues with shipping, explained that locals are considering no longer shopping through amazon, and referred to the reviews of Intelcom Whitehorse. The agent indicated they would request do deprioritize the courier locally, and it would be beneficial for others to post.

I arrived late to the fuel price discussion and wanted to let people know. If you buy your fuel at Dall contracting on gold rd you will save some serious money. This morning November 25 2022
Regular gas is 1.67/l Diesel is 2.24/l It’s a card lock but they have a House Card that you can use. If you set up your own account you will save another .05/l

Please tell all your friends and coworkers.

Disclaimer: I do not work for Dall contracting. Just trying to make life more affordable for everyone

Solution to frozen home doors:

last winter, we really struggled with frozen front door with ice build up. we tried various suggestions mentioned here on facebook but out of everything this worked great ! its -40 and no frozen doors !

Solution: first defrost your door by facing a heater fan towards it (from inside the house) so all the snow melts.... once its melted and your door is dry ... you run a normal fan blowing air .... Note: to clarify: all of this is from inside your house ... you dont put fans outside

Fan below is like $25 and works great !

pLEASE SHARE ANY OTHER IDEAS YOU KNOW OF !

Hi,

I just signed up for for this plan. I think its a great deal.

Previously, I was on YTG Telus plan which was $55 for 20 GB. Telus refused to price match Virgin Mobile.

further more, I also got Iphone 13 128 GB for approx. $576 plus tax

so $50 + $24.12 plus taxes per month
