Question: Which territory's capital is Whitehorse?

Answer options:

  • Northwest Territories
  • Nunavut ✅ Yukon
  • Newfoundland and Labrador

Correct answer: Yukon

Explanation: Whitehorse is the capital of Yukon, a northern territory famous for the Klondike Gold Rush. By contrast, the capital of the Northwest Territories is Yellowknife, Nunavut's capital is Iqaluit, and Newfoundland and Labrador is a province with its capital at St. John's. The Discover Canada guide requires candidates to understand Canadian geography, specifically the names of all ten provinces and three territories alongside their respective capital cities. Memorizing these regional capitals is highly relevant for the citizenship exam, as geographic identification questions are frequently tested to ensure applicants understand Canada's political boundaries.
