more on the adventurous side, Carcross has
something for any visitor (Royal or otherwise).
The tourist attractions are centred around
the Carcross Commons. Especially exciting is
the new Carcross Art House which opened
through a partnership between the Yukon Arts
Centre Corporation, Carcross/Tagish Manage-
ment Corporation and the Southern Lakes Art-
ist Collective.
“[C/TMC] is very excited about the cultural
and economic opportunities created by the
new gallery at the Carcross Commons,” CEO
Nelson Lepine said. “The project supports cul-
tural tourism, strengthens community part-
nerships, offers training for Aboriginal artists
and youth, and advances the business poten-
tial that exists in the Carcross region.”
Minister of Economic Development Stacey
Hassard echoed Lepine’s sentiment, saying at
the time of the opening, “This new space al-
lows Yukon artists to showcase export-ready
products, develop business skills, and pro-
mote their art to regional, national, and inter-
national visitors of Carcross.”
