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.
