All Residence buildings are located on Ayamdigut Campus, which means classes are only seconds away! We offer free parking with cold weather plug-ins on a first come, first served basis, a smoke-free facility (all units, buildings and balconies are non-smoking), and Yukon College also offers 24/7 security on campus. In addition, activities are planned on and off campus for those in residence. Such activities have included visits to Takhini Hot Springs, Carcross Desert, and Mount Sima, attendance at concerts and festivals both in Whitehorse and out of town, and volunteering for local charitable organizations. During the academic year, Residence offers cooking nights, health and wellness talks, movie nights, sporting and outdoor events, campfires, arts and crafts, music nights and other exciting activities. Evenings hosted by Yukon Elders making boots, mitts, traditional cooking and storytelling are also offered. Residence activities are planned with resident input to appeal to a wide variety of interests and ages, and everyone living in Residence is encouraged and welcome to attend activities appropriate for them. Residents also have access to the Yukon College gymnasium and weight room, library, cafeteria, career and personal counseling services, First Nations Lounge, Bookstore, Learning Assistance Centre, and much more.
