Yukon Youth Take Centre Stage

If there’s one message that Canada’s three northern territories have made loud and clear during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, it’s that youth figure prominently in their future. Youth emcees have introduced premiers, youth athletes have demonstrated their prowess, and youth performers have showcased their talent.

Culture that Fuels Northern Communities

In Canada’s North, cultural activities are the glue that hold communities together. Culture is also a dominant economic activity—per capita, more artists live in Canada’s three northern territories than anywhere in the country. Visual and performing artists, filmmakers, designers and cultural entrepreneurs are business and community leaders and major contributors to the northern economy.

Canada’s Northern House a 2010 Media Darling

Public response to the House has been phenomenal, and media interest has been constant. So far over 100,000 visitors have walked through our doors—more than the entire population of all three territories combined!

Evening Entertainment From the North

Vancouver is a city that almost isn’t sleeping, and that’s partly because there’s so much great Games-time entertainment. Many northern performers are appearing at venues throughout the city and beyond.
