Yukon Wildlife Preserve Visit

Yukon College International offers some activities for international students to enrich their experiences in the Yukon.

On February 13th, a group took an opportunity to visit Yukon Wildlife Preserve, just outside of Whitehorse. Here is the letter from one of the participants, Mariko. Mariko is from Japan and she has been studying English as a Second Language Program since January, 2010.

I took part in the Wildlife Preserve Tour today and I saw many northern Canadian mammals. They live in huge and very safe place close to nature enviroment. I thought that here is a big zoo!!! I wasn't interested in any animals when I live in Japan and I didn't have a chance to see many animals so it was a great opportunity today.

One of the animals, "Mountain Goat", when I saw this animal, I was very surprised because they live in cliffs!!! It was difficult to find them because their body is white and there were a lot of snow!!!

I enjoyed this tour and I could take many photos so this is one of my great memories in Yukon.
