History
Before relocating to Whitehorse, the legislature met at the Yukon Territorial Government Administration Building in Dawson City from 1907 to 1953 (and now home to Yukon College).[1] From 1953 to 1976 the Legislature sat at the Old Post Office (Government Services Building built in 1901 and demolished after 1962) in Whitehorse and the Federal Building before moving the current building.[2]
Tenants
The building houses most of Yukon Government's departments and is the home of the Legislature Assembly. Both the Legislative Assembly and Executive Council sit in the same chamber.
