    933. Village of Carmacks Councillor Tara Wheeler

    Welcome to Cross Border Interviews.  Our goal is to create meaningful municipal conversations that inform, connect, educate and strengthen communities from coast to coast to coast in Canada.  For this edition of Cross Border Interviews, we were honoured to be at the 51st Annual Association of Yukon Communities Convention, where we spoke with Village of Carmacks Councillor Tara Wheeler. The Village of Carmacks, Yukon is located in a spectacular wilderness setting at the confluence of the Yukon and Nordenskiold rivers.  Considered by many to be 'the hub of the Yukon', it is situated 180 kilometres north of Whitehorse on the Klondike Highway, near its junction with the Robert Campbell Highway.   Thousands of years before the Klondike Gold Rush and the building of the Alaska and Klondike highways, the Carmacks area existed as a rest stop on a main trade route used by Indigenous People. These First Nations included coastal Tlingits, northern and interior Gwich’in and other Southern and Northern Tutchone groups.   Since becoming incorporated as a village November 1st, 1984, the Village of Carmacks now maintains a stable population of around 500 full-time residents. Many residents are employed by federal, territorial, First Nation and municipal governments. ------ Learn More About Today's Community:  https://carmacks.ca/ ------ Support The Show Today: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/support-the-show Join The Show: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/be-part-of-the-show  ------ Listen To The Show:  Apple: https://apple.co/3XwwXIv Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cross-border-interviews Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/crossborderinterviewswithchrisbrown ------ Follow Us On Social Media:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crossborderpodcast/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@crossborderpodcast  Blusky: https://bsky.app/profile/crossbordernetwork.bsky.social Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CrossBorderInterviews/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/crossborderinterviews/  Website: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/ Cross Border Interview is Part of the Cross Border Network © 2026
