More Than a Bookstore, A Community Fireside

Founded in the heart of Whitehorse, Arctic Pages was born from a passion for stories and a love for the vibrant Yukon community. We believe a bookshop should be a warm refuge—a place to discover, to connect, and to feel at home, especially during the long northern winters.

Our mission is to be a cornerstone for literacy and culture in the North. We proudly feature local authors like Eva St. John and Silas Raven, host community-driven events, and offer a thoughtfully curated selection of new and beloved used books spanning every genre. Come in, grab a warm drink from The Reading Nook, and find your next great read or simply a moment of peace.
