Abstract

The success of heritage conservation districts as a more holistic approach to heritage resource management has been documented around the country. Yukon, Canada has expressed a desire to move beyond traditional approaches to establish district designations. Through detailed examinations of the evolution of districts and of the progression of historic sites management in Canada and the Yukon, best practices will be established and measured against the unique challenges faced in the Territory. Further, an examination of the potential benefits and challenges are discussed and measured against three case studies: downtown Dawson City, Takhini North in Whitehorse and Carcross, Yukon. The case studies provide tangible evidence for the successful implementation of heritage conservation districts as a way to preserve and enhance the Yukon's historic sites.
