• there are 4 different populations listed on this page! 23,205 in the opening paragraph; 19,058 for City and 21,405 for Metro in the fact box on the right; and 252 000 listed under Community Profile. Luigi, which is correct?

• • 19,058 was the population inside the Whitehorse City limits counted by Statistics Canada in the 2001 Census. 21,405 was the number of people in the Whitehorse Census agglomeration in 2001. 23,205 is the population count supplied by the Yukon Bureau of Statistics [1] in December 2004. Generally speaking, the Census tends to undercount people (the YBS has shown this to Stats Can's satisfaction, which resulted in the Yukon government getting an extra $30 million), while the YBS numbers are based on the number of people with Yukon health care cards with Whitehorse postal addresses, which is an overcount, since it can take up to a year to remove people from the health care rolls. So, the answer to your question is none of the above. Luigizanasi 15:18, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] wrong address

I don't really know how to use this website, but Whitehorse is Mile 918 on the Alaska Highway, not Mile 1495 or whatever

• • It may be mile 917 on the Alaska Highway, but it's kilometre 1489 as stated in the article. Beckie S.--11:27, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I think that the "What's Up, Yukon" bi-weekly should be added to the list of local media. All local content and events, arts and entertainment, occasional weekly runs during special events in town, been in production for over a year now. ðððððððððЏ
