Prepared for the Government of Yukon Department of Economic Development. Seeking a clearer understanding of Yukon and Whitehorse’s places in the creative economy, the Government of Yukon engaged the Creative Class Group to examine and assess the Territory’s creative assets. Half a century ago, if someone predicted that almost 7,000 of the 37,000 people who live in Yukon today would have jobs that turn on ideas rather than physical skills, few would have believed it. Most people would have taken it for granted that as remote a region as Yukon would make its livelihood from mining, timber, and furs—from extraction, as a transportation nexus, or a military base. And yet Yukon not only has a significant creative class presence, it is larger in proportion to its population and growing faster than the creative class in Canada as a whole.
