Yukon Territory Adventures in Canada can be enjoyed with 24 hour sunlight or 24 hour starlight and then there is somewhere in between. The Yukon is the land of the midnight sun. The northern Canada territory is filled with vast wilderness, long in gold rush history and abundant in wildlife. Above all this is "postcard" country.

To the east is the Mackenzie Mountain Range and to the west are the Ogilvie, St Elias and Dawson Mountain Ranges. Therefore summer enjoys canoeing, hiking, mountain biking, camping to name a few. While the winter months provide snowshoeing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, and dog sledding adventures.

Travel Insurance

Why Get Travel Insurance?

• For a few cents a day, travel insurance protects you, the ones you love, and your belongings from the financial nightmare of an accident or sudden illness on a trip, and from unexpected expenses if you miss a flight or if your luggage is stolen.
• Are you a Canadian resident? Many provincial or territorial health insurance plans only cover you for specific health expenses incurred in your home province or territory.
• Are you a visitor to Canada? Travelling outside your country of residence without travel insurance could leave you stranded and your finances strained from an accident or sudden illness.
• Are you relying on credit card insurance? Some credit cards do offer travel insurance, but these plans often have limited benefits and coverage.
• Without adequate travel insurance, a broken arm from being hit by a car could cost you or your family thousands of dollars in unplanned bills for medication, doctor visits and hospital stays, as well as additional daily expenses.
• Spend a little now—and save a whole lot later. Why wouldn't you get travel insurance?

FAQ:

• Why should I buy travel insurance?
  Whether you travel frequently or occasionally, travel insurance protects you on your trip anytime and anywhere, in case of medical and family emergencies, travel delays or theft.
• If I get sick or injured while travelling, won't the provincial government health care plan pay for the medical expenses?
  The provincial government health care plan provides only limited coverage for medical treatment and hospital costs outside of Canada; expenses such as ambulance services, emergency dental treatment and prescription drugs may not be covered by some provincial health insurance plans. Without travel insurance, a broken arm or even the flu could turn into a substantial medical bill, potentially costing you hundreds or thousands of dollars more than you thought you would spend on your trip.
• Other than medical insurance, what Travel Underwriters' travel coverage is available?
  Trip Cancellation/Trip Interruption Insurance protects you from extra expenses associated with cancelling, changing or interrupting a trip for reasons beyond your control. Baggage Insurance protects you from spending more on your trip than you planned, should your belongings be lost, stolen or damaged. Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance covers you if you are injured on your trip. Rental Car Protection provides coverage against damage to your rented or leased vehicle.
• Why do I need additional travel insurance if credit card coverage is available?
  Some credit cards provide basic travel insurance, but you must read the fine print to find out exactly what's covered, under what conditions, and what the benefits and limits are. The coverage may apply for a limited time period, or be available only up to a certain age. Credit card coverage is also usually only applicable if the trip is paid for with your credit card.
• Does Travel Underwriters offer family coverage?
  Visitors to Canada Medical Insurance; and Baggage Insurance plans. You and your spouse (legal or common-law) must be 59 years and under to purchase any of these plans. Your children can be included in family coverage as long as they are unmarried, 21 years or under and still living with you; or if they are 25 years or under and attending school full time. Dependent children over 21 years of age with a mental or physical disability are also covered.
• If I am over the age of 60 and have a few medical conditions, can I still purchase travel insurance?
  Yes, but some exclusions and limitations may apply depending on your health status. Please refer to the official policy wording of the insurance you are interested in purchasing, for more details.
• Do I really need to read the official policy wording?
  It is useful to read the policy wording carefully and to take it along on your trip; your official policy wording includes the terms and conditions of your insurance policy, and as with any insurance, some of these terms may limit the benefits payable in the event of a claim. Refer to your policy wording to clarify insurance details, and to access important customer service and claims contact numbers.
• How do I purchase Travel Underwriters' travel insurance?
  You can purchase Travel Underwriters' travel insurance through this website or by contacting Travel Underwriters' customer service at 1-800-663-5389 or by asking for our products at your local insurance broker, bank, credit union or automobile association.
• Are sports-related injuries covered?
  Injuries related to sports are covered if you are injured while participating in recreational sports outside your home province, as long as you are not a professional athlete or earning the majority of your income from the sport in which the injury occurred.
• Can I cancel a policy?
  Most plans can be cancelled before or on the effective date found on the policy application form, but may not be cancelled after the effective date. To cancel a policy or for more information, please contact Travel Underwriters' customer service at 1-800-663-5389.

( formerly Queen Charlotte Islands )

Click the Community text links on the right or the map to plan your Vacation.

Haida Gwaii, BC, Canada (formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands) is an archipelago of 150+ islands located 93 nautical miles (172 kilometres) off the mainland coast of northern British Columbia, Canada. Haida Gwaii is home to beautiful sandy beaches, forests, wildlife and an abundance of First Nation art, culture and tradition.

The two main populated islands of Haida Gwaii are Graham and Moresby Islands. South of the two populated islands is the world famous island called the Gwaii Haanas National Park.

Graham Island is the largest island of the two populated islands. It is the most accessible of the islands comprising of 6 villages - Masset, Old Masset, Port Clements, Tlell, Skidegate, and Queen Charlotte City. Transportation to and from Graham Island is via floatplane or via an 8-10 hour ferry excursion departing from the community of Prince Rupert, British Columbia which is located on the B.C. Mainland.

Moresby Island is home to one village named Sandspit Village. Moresby Island is accessed via floatplane and a ferry departing from Graham Island. Air travel to and from Haida Gwaii is also based out of Sandspit as it is the site of the main airport servicing commercial and charter airplanes.

The islands cover a total distance of 250 kilometres (156 miles) north to south and, at its thickest point, is less than 100 km (52 miles) east to west. Haida Gwaii is the western-most point of Canada and in the language of the First Nation people translates into, "a place of wonder".
