The Northwest Canadian Region is comprised of the Yukon, a territory in northwestern Canada. It is bordered by Alaska to the west and British Columbia to the east. The capital city is Whitehorse, and the population is approximately 40, 000 people. The Yukon is known for its vast wilderness, with mountains, rivers, and forests. It is also home to many species of wildlife, including grizzly bears, caribou, and wolves. The Yukon is an important part of Canada's history, as it was the site of the Klondike Gold Rush in the late 19th century.
