Amidst Canada's Prohibition period in the 20th century, the Yukon found itself at the heart of national and international affairs, with lasting implications on land and in the skies. Beginning in the early 1820s, the temperance movement, a global campaign to limit alcohol consumption, grew across Canada, propelling the country into the era known as Prohibition. This impacted many parts of Canadian life such as women's Suffrage, and economic and social patterns. In the Yukon, the history of prohibition is one of social and political change, creative problem-solving, and standing one's ground to drive national interest and international policies forward.
