This month’s travel news: Travellers heading to the Yukon to catch the northern Lights, Canada’s newest ultra-low-cost airline takes flight, and trade in-flight snacks and pack a bento-style lunch box

Jonathan Tucker/HandoutAs nights get longer in the Yukon, focus turns to the sky as travellers head north with hopes of catching the magic of the Northern Lights. According to statistics from Travel Yukon, more than 10,000 tourists from Canada alone visit during the winter to see the light show.

This year, it’s partnered with EnChroma, which makes glasses to assist those with colour blindness to more accurately see the full rainbow of colour. The glasses are available at several tour operators in the territory including Northern Lights Resort & Spa and Epic North Tour Experiences. Availability is limited so contact tour operators directly to inquire about loaner programs.

In breaking news the Northern Lights have been turned off as they did not pay the Liberal carbon tax.
