“Hey, I’m Alive!”
In this public talk, John Firth will turn back the clock to February 1963 and return to the scene of the famous Ralph Flores-Helen Klaben crash southeast of Watson Lake. The pair’s seven week odyssey in the Yukon wilderness was breathlessly covered by media outlets all over the world, and their unlikely survival has become a Yukon tale for the ages. Join John at YTM as he chats about the eccentricities and oddities of this story to top all stories

Canada.gov.ca Live Show

FRIDAY, JULY 25th
at Yukon Transportation Museum
Doors open at 6pm, Show at 7pm ($30 entry)

After a series of sold out shows in Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon and Winnipeg in January, the Admin of the wildly successful @canada.gov.ca Instagram account is now looking to close the western (and northern!) loop with shows in Victoria, Vancouver, Whitehorse, and Dawson City. YTM is thrilled to be hosting the Whitehorse stop on this gut-busting tour on July 25th (doors at 6, show at 7).

What is the show exactly? Imagine a couple drinks with a knowledgeable friend – who just happens to have a PowerPoint presentation ready It’s somewhere between formal and informal — a tipsy ted talk, if you will. It’s not stand-up, it’s not a podcast, it’s @canada.gov.ca – be sure to be a part of this and get your tickets quickly at the link below because this show at @go_ytm is sure to sell out! See y’all there!

Rene Rivard: Pack Saddle Carving Demonstration

1:00-2:00
Regular admission prices (free for YTM members)
_________________________

YTM is thrilled to welcome Rene Rivard to the museum to give two presentations that will cover the traditional way of crafting pack saddles for horses, as well as give a historical overview of the Chilkoot Trail during the Gold Rush era. We will also be showing a short film created by Parks Canada and featuring Rene called ‘A Lifetime on the Land: Transportation on the Chilkoot Trail‘. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity!

Rene Rivard was born in the Gaspe Peninsula, Quebec, and moved to Hinton, Alberta, in 1981, where he learned the art of pack saddle crafting from a Metis elder named Felix Plane. Rene moved to the Yukon in 1988 and spent his career with Parks Canada as a park warden and wildlife technician on the Chilkoot Trail. He has done original research on gold rush-era pack saddle replicas, as well as on the history of stampeders and use of pack horses on the Chilkoot Trail. Recently retired, Rene now devotes his time to pack saddle making, public education and wildlife research – he is excited to share his personal experience and research about cultural resources.
