I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and your welcoming department in the ER. Everyone, from physicians, nurses, support staff, and patients, was very friendly. It was professionally rewarding to learn and work in a new system.– Dr. Garnett
Mayo
The Village of Mayo is situated within the traditional territory of the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyak Dun.
It may be considered a small town, but Mayo is the largest community on the Silver Trail and offers plenty of reasons to stop. Sitting near the confluence of the Mayo and Stewart Rivers in the middle of beautiful wilderness, Mayo is a hub for fly-in fishing, rafting excursions and other exciting outdoor adventures. Highway travellers find plenty of interesting ways to spend their time in town as well.

Mayo is located at the confluence of the Mayo and Stewart rivers in the heart of the Yukon, approximately 400 km north of Whitehorse.
