As current leases expire, new leases will be awarded based on competitive bids received from prospective tenants. Occasionally, subleasing opportunities occur. Click here for a map showing where these buildings lie in the historic district.

The Canadian government required those going to the Klondike gold fields to bring a year's supply of food with them to avoid starvation during the long Yukon winter.  Some of the recommended supplies included 400 pounds of flour, 200 pounds of bacon, and 100 pounds of beans!
