The community of Carcross

The community of Carcross is located within the Traditional Territory of the Carcross/Tagish First Nation.

Carcross is set on the shores of Bennett Lake, about 75 km south of Whitehorse on the Klondike Highway. Surrounded by mountains, Carcross boasts stunning landscapes and scenery all year long.

Learning science on the land

In the spring of 2019, Yukon College and Carcross/Tagish First Nation partnered on a two-week training course that took place on the land and in a wall tent on the Carcross/Tagish First Nation Farm. The condensed course gave students the equivalent of a Grade 10 Science credit and fulfills the science requirement to enter a trades apprenticeship program.
