Yukon Transportation Hall of Fame


Yukon Recipients of Honours, Decorations, & Medals

Dateline: February 4, 2023

    The Yukon Transportation Hall of Fame, located in the Yukon Transportation Museum, is managed and funded by the Transport Services Branch of Yukon Highways and Public Works.

    There are three components:

    The first two are self-explanatory. The Order of Polaris is presented to individuals, groups or association whose contributions to aviation include meritous service in the Yukon. "A nominee will have made a significant contribution and/or advancement to the aviation industry. Air-men and women, engineers, air crew, mechanics, designers and ground support, groups or associations, who played an important role in opening up the North, will also be considered."

    Information panels about each of the winners and inductees, like the one to the right about Bud Harbottle, have been installed.
