Whitehorse Memorial Cairn and Plaque

The Yukon Transportation Museum at kilometre 1473.8 on the Alaska Highway includes a plaque that commemorates 18 years of service on the Alaska Highway by units of the Corps of Royal Canadian Engineers during 1946-1964. The museum also displays the pair of cairns and plaques (relocated from their original site at Mile 918) that recalls both the initial hand-over of the Canadian portion of the Alcan Highway from the US Army to the Canadian Army on 1 April 1946 and its subsequent transfer to the Department of Public Works on 1 April 1964.
