Biographical history
The Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada is the statutory advisory body to the Minister of the Environment and, through the Minister, to the Government of Canada on the commemoration of nationally significant aspects of Canada's history. Almost 80% of the subjects considered by the Board are nominated by the public. When forwarding a positive recommendation to the Minister, the Board also provides advice on erecting a commemorative plaque. The Board is also responsible for the Heritage Railway Stations Program and the National Program for the Grave Sites of Canadian Prime Ministers.
Custodial history
Scope and content
The collection consists of two reports written by Gordon Bennett for the Research Division of National Historic Parks and Sites Branch of Parks Canada. One paper, 25 pages, entitled "Livingstone Creek, Y.T." is about the mining history of the Livingstone Creek area and Bennett writes about Hootalinqua, Big Salmon, Mason's Landing, the involvement of the North West Mounted Police (NWMP) in the settlement of Livingstone Creek, the freight suppliers, the population, and the mining trends from 1899 until the town was abandoned in the 1930s. Photocopies of photographs and maps of the Livingstone Creek region follow the report. The second paper, 9 pages, outlines the events of the life of Skookum Jim (James Mason), his involvement with George Carmacks and his life in Carcross following the Klondike Gold Rush. Its pages are stamped "Restricted".
