The Co-operators locations in Yukon Territory

Optimal insurance solutions in Yukon

Yukon is the smallest and westernmost of Canada’s three federal territories. It is wild, mountainous and sparsely populated. Yukon’s mineral wealth prompted the famous Klondike gold rush of the 1890s, but its Arctic climate and remoteness from markets have limited its economic exploitation and industrialization.

Much of the Yukon territory is inhabited by 14 of Canada’s First Nations. Its residents also include our capable Co-operators Financial Advisors who are committed to providing you optimal insurance solutions tailored to your Northern lifestyle. Get in touch for a no-obligation quote, be it home insurance, car insurance, or even life insurance.

Whether you’re a resident or visitor, you’ll hear about, and have a chance to visit, Yukon’s Miles Canyon located in its Greenbelt Reserve. It was created over 8.5 million years ago as a result of lava flows in the valley. The Kluane National Park is equally well known and home to Canada’s highest mountain peak, Mount Logan. Ivvavik National Park lies to the far north and provides protected calving grounds for Porcupine caribou. In the south are numerous glacier-fed alpine lakes, including the boldly coloured Emerald Lake.

If you’re in the right place at the right time, you might even come face to face with the aurora borealis, more popularly called the Northern Lights. Your best chance of viewing this nature’s spectacular light show is on dark and clear nights from 10pm to 3am, during the first few weeks of winter.

For an unhindered experience of Yukon’s great wilderness, take a road trip along its picturesque highways − Alaska Highway, Klondike Highway and Top of the World Highway, to name a few. They’ll take you through stunning scenery, unique communities and historic trade routes of traders, travelers, prospectors, and early transportation workers.
