LITTLE GOLD, YT,
April 25,
2024 /CNW/ - The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)
is advising travellers that the Little Gold Creek port of entry
will open for the summer season on Friday,
May 17. Seasonal hours of operation will be from
9:00 am to 7:00 pm Pacific Daylight
Time, seven days a week. The port is scheduled to
remain open until Sunday, September
15.
This will enable travellers to use the crossing during the long
weekends in May and September, and extends the season by an
additional four weeks, weather permitting. These changes will apply
in future years.
Adverse weather conditions are a significant factor in the area
and may impact the opening and closing dates. Travellers should
note that during the summer season the time in Yukon is one hour ahead of the time in
Alaska. Travellers are encouraged
to visit the CBSA Directory of Offices and Services or call
1-800-461-9999 for the latest information.
