Whitehorse Daily Star: Miner will be reminded of his obligations:

Before Darrell Carey proceeds with any work on his placer claims in Dawson City, he’ll need a development permit from the town, says Dawson Mayor Wayne Potoroka.

Potoroka said in an interview this morning town staff will be contacting Carey to make sure he’s aware he needs a permit before doing any work.

“Anytime anybody does anything in our community, that is a requirement,” the mayor said of Carey’s obligation to obtain a development permit.

This was sent to me ny some travel company that had the idea I was interested in going North. I would normally have spammed it but decided to have a look. I have never been to the Yukon territories but have wondered about it a few times. If I was to go Dawson City is at the top of my list. A couple of cousins lived in Whitehorse as children but moved south in their teens. Better schools.

I have visited the Arctic a couple of times working in Alaska on the pipeline and Canada in the Arctic Ocean on a Dredge building Islands. A story for another time.
