Special Activities for International Students

Yes, Whitehorse is a smaller city. But there are so much to do around here!

Yukon College International is going to offer some activities for international students to have unique Northern experiences.

The first activity will be:

February 13th (Sat)- Wildlife Preserve Tour (Max. 10 students)
1:15pm-4pm
This is a free event!

During this guided tour, you will see moose, caribou, musk-ox, mountain goat, dall sheep, bison and so many other Northern wildlife at the preserve. It will include the transportation from/to downtown!

Please make a reservation by January 28th (international@yukoncollege.yk.ca).

I look forward to hearing from you!

Snowshoeing Activity

Yukon College started offering "Lunch Hour Snowshoe Lesson" on every Wednesdays. This is facilitated by our First Nations Cultural Development Facilitator, Randall.

The first snowshoe lesson was offered on January 7th. The participants told me that they learned not only the snowshoing, but also some interesting stories from Randall.

This is a great opportunity for international students to meet some staff and other students, and also to learn great Northern winter activity as well as First Nations culture.

This activity is open to all students at the College and is FREE!! If you are interested in getting more info., please let me know. You will need to reserve a spot with Randall ahead of time.

Have fun!

New Year, New Idea

Hi everyone.

It is -17 degree outside and is beautiful, but instead of going out for my regular lunch hour skiing, I am sitting at my desk to write this first letter from Yukon College International!

It is a new year, so I wished to start something new.

I will frequently introduce stories of our life here at Yukon College for our current/ former/ future international students and also anybody who is intrested in a student life in the North.

Comments and questions are all welcomed. I look forward to communicating with you all through this blog!
