Whitehorse is the territorial capital of Yukon and home to Yukon University (transitioned from Yukon College to polytechnic in 2020). Located on the Yukon River, this Northern Pacific city sees midnight sun summers and aurora borealis winters. Government employment, mining heritage (1898 Klondike Gold Rush legacy in nearby Dawson City), plus tourism (Kluane National Park, White Pass railway), plus significant Yukon First Nations populations create distinctive territorial capital homeschool families.
