Whitehorse Centre


Whitehorse Centre is an electoral district which returns a member to the Legislative Assembly of the Yukon Territory in Canada. It was created in 1992 from an amalgamation of the ridings of Whitehorse North Centre and Whitehorse South Centre and readjusted in 2002 following the dissolution of the neighbouring riding of Riverside. The riding encompasses the downtown core of the City of Whitehorse between the escarpment and the Yukon River. Whitehorse Centre is home to most of Whitehorse's businesses and government offices.
Whitehorse Centre is bordered by the ridings of Riverdale North, Takhini-Kopper King, and Mountainview.
The current MLA is Liz Hanson, who is the current leader of the Yukon New Democratic Party and Leader of the Third Party in the Yukon Legislative Assembly. It is the former seat of Todd Hardy, leader of the Yukon New Democratic Party between 2002 and his death in 2010.
The riding is generally considered a New Democrat stronghold.
