How’s life in Whitehorse?
Hi everyone, I arrived in Whitehorse a few days ago for a visit. The nature is beautiful and most people are very friendly. However, from my observation there seem to be 2 groups of people living here (of course it’s more nuanced than that, I’m exaggerating a little): those who are really into the nature and those who aren’t.
I drove around the residential area near downtown and also saw some impoverished looking houses.
I guess my question is: how’s life around here? Are most people happy? Is drug/alcohol usage high? What do young people do for fun? Are there many immigrants and if so what brings them here?
Any insights to help me get a better understanding would be highly appreciated.
Ps. Hope this doesn’t come across disrespectful as it’s not intended to be that at all, just curious to get to know the real Whitehorse.
