City Launches New Snowshoe Program

Join the City and get to know Whitehorse’s neighbourhood trails.

Every second Thursday from January 16 to March 27, the City will host a family-friendly snowshoe walk along a neighbourhood trail. A knowledgeable guide will be on-hand for each walk, sharing facts about local plants and wildlife.

The walks will take place from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. on a different neighbourhood trail each time.  No need to register; simply show up at 4 p.m. at the walk’s location.

The first walk will take place in partnership with the Yukon Conservation Society on January 16 at Birch Loop in Crestview off Rainbow Road.

All ages are welcome. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Snowshoes will be provided by the City for free. Each walk can accommodate up to 15 participants on a first come, first served basis.

Those taking part are reminded to dress in layers and bring water bottles for this scenic adventure.

Walks will be cancelled if the temperature is -25C or lower including wind chill.
