The Hamlet of Mt. Lorne extends from just south of the junction of the Alaska and Klondike Highways to south of Bear Creek, and down the Annie Lake Road to the Wheaton River bridge. It covers an area of 245 square kilometers with a population of 380 people.

The Mt. Lorne area has a rich history. First Nations people have a long tradition of hunting and gathering in this region. In 1992, an archaeological dig at Annie Lake discovered remains of campsites dating back over 8000 years.

Recently, easy access to trails and tales of big snow have made Mt. Lorne a favoured area for mushers training for the Yukon Quest and Iditarod.

For the months September and October our main building will undergo needed building upgrades. We will get a new furnace, new energy saving windows, electrical upgrades and an arctic entrance for our main entrance.

Thanks to YTG Community Development Fund for the generous financial support to our Association for these upgrades.

During this time the Centre might not be available for events or to our members for their meetings. Please contact Agnes at 667-7083 if you are planning on using the facility.

We will also offer youth employment to support the renovations as well as workshops for women, Carpentry with Kim Beggs and YWITT - Yukon Women in Trades and Technology. Please watch for dates and info.

Near the end of the renovations we will have a Volunteer Work Day to help with all the clean up and finishing touches needed, followed by a Volunteer Appreciation Dinner. Watch for this one.

Thanks for your understanding and come on down and help out if you can.
