The SS Klondike National Historic Site of Canada is among the family of National Historic Sites administered by Parks Canada that commemorate nationally significant places, persons and events. The SS Klondike was designated a National Historic Site because of its association with the inland water transportation system connecting the Yukon to the world.
Parks Canada's primary responsibilities in the management of National Historic Sites are:
- protecting the resources that symbolize a Site's importance,
- communicating the reasons for a Site's national significance.
National Historic Sites are managed according to the principles outlined in Parks Canada's Cultural Resource Management Policy.
Site management practices and initiatives specific to the SS Klondike are further guided by the SS Klondike National Historic Site of Canada Management Plan.

Site Management Plan Review and Update
A management plan is the central document that guides Parks Canada in the management and operation of a national historic site. It is the key accountability document for the site to the Canadian public, outlining how Parks Canada’s integrated mandate of protection, education and experience will be delivered over the next five years.
The S.S. Klondike National Historic Site management plan was approved in 2004 and is now undergoing a five-year review. The review provides an opportunity to gauge progress on the plan’s implementation and update the plan where necessary with partner, stakeholder and public input.
Below is a newsletter that launches the review and invites your participation. Also below, is a 2007 newsletter, “Keeping You Informed,” that outlines major work on the S.S. Klondike in recent years.
