The community of Mayo

The community of Mayo is located at the confluence of the Mayo and Stewart rivers in the heart of the Yukon, approximately 400 km north of Whitehorse.

Situated within the Traditional Territory of the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun, the campus has always played a dynamic role in community education. Partnerships with local and territorial organizations, the First Nation of Nacho Nyäk Dun and employers within the area have greatly contributed to the success of the Mayo Community Campus.
