Experience Winter Perfection in the Yukon

Welcome to the Northern Lights Resort & Spa in Canada’s Yukon, a family-run escape from the hustle and bustle of busy city living. Here, pampering comes first— your worry-free vacation means leaving your shoes and stresses at the door and making yourself at home.

A WINTER ADVENTURE

LIKE NO OTHER

Enjoy first-class hospitality with luxurious accommodations like the Aurora Glass Chalets. These chalets come equipped with large top-to-bottom windows so that you can watch the aurora borealis from the warmth and cozy comfort of your bed.

There’s so much to explore, from childlike wonder and fun in the winter snow to deeply relaxing experiences in one of many luxurious amenities. Spend the day exploring the mountains or valleys of the Greater Whitehorse Area via dogsled or snowmobile, or try your hand at ice-fishing on one of Whitehorse’s beautiful lakes.

After a day of adventure and outdoor activity, treat yourself to a wellness massage at the resort’s stocked spa area, complete with a Finnish sauna, an infrared sauna, and a relaxation room.

FUN IN THE SUN AND THE SNOW

You’ll find the best of both worlds here in the Yukon. Whether sun or snow, the fun and adventure never stop. The sights and sounds are a nature lover’s dream, and there is no shortage of diverse landscapes to explore and photograph—the views of the Yukon River and Grey Mountain area of Whitehorse are not to be missed!

For the best value, opt for a tour package: these special offers include pickup and drop-off to and from the airport, three meals a day, as well as private use of the spa, nightly guided aurora viewing, and your choice of one or two tours. The tours of Whitehorse take you on exciting adventures with an expert guide who will show you the best of the city, from cozy local favourites like hidden culinary gems and watering holes to art and culture must-sees like the MacBride Museum.

The Yukon Wildlife Preserve Tour is another great adventure waiting to be had—spend an afternoon in the country with 15 different northern species in over 600 acres of wild surroundings. This journey is perfect for wildlife lovers excited to get up close and personal with nature.

Gourmet Dining

Defying the Odds: Wheelchair User Becomes First to Enter the Pyramids of Giza

The steps from the outside leading into the Pyramids of Giza are daunting. The entryway is steep, dark, and narrow—a feat that would seem scary to any traveller.

Despite this, Barbara* descended the steps in her wheelchair, becoming the first wheelchair user to enter one of the pyramids from the outside.

Barbara, who entered the pyramids in a specially designed wheelchair gifted to her by Travel For All, is a travel enthusiast striving to defy the odds stacked against disabled travellers. Working alongside Travel For All, a global agency with its head office in British Columbia that works to assist travellers with disabilities, specific requirements, and accommodations, she has been able to travel the world with ease.

As a wheelchair user, Barbara faced adversity and complications while travelling. A passionate traveller with a goal to see the world, Barbara refused to let her wheelchair stand in the way of following that dream.

She contacted Travel For All to aid her in her travels. With their help, she’s visited not only the Pyramids of Giza, but Machu Picchu, the Galapagos Islands, and so much more.

Travel For All was founded by Tarita Davenock after she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the age of 29. She continued to work as a social worker for five years after her diagnosis until her daily career became difficult to manage and was suggested by her neurologist to look at a new career path.

As a passionate traveller herself who soon became a wheelchair user, Davenock founded Travel For All to support other travellers with disabilities. Travel For All understands the challenges faced by people with disabilities when travelling. Leaving the safety of what is familiar can be extremely stressful—and the anxiety that this causes for some is a significant obstacle.

Having assisted thousands of travellers with specific requirements to see the world, the experts at Travel For All are able to make recommendations that fit every individual’s travel style and personal needs.

Similarly, Travel For All works with suppliers around the world who can provide muchneeded resources to travellers, including those like Barbara, who was provided with a specially made wheelchair from one of their providers.

In addition to Barbara’s story, Travel For All has supported thousands of travellers over their 14 years of service. They have a variety of tours available, including cruise lines, land and tour operators, and specifically curated itineraries in a variety of locations.

Barbara booked her Egypt tour through Travel For All and was able to explore one of the Seven Wonders of the World in a personalized itinerary without having to worry about travelling in a wheelchair or what accommodations may be available to her.

Travelling should be something that’s easily accessible to be enjoyed by all—and that’s a mission that Travel For All is seeking to accomplish, which is proving to be fruitful with success stories like Barbara’s.
