520 |a"In 1840, Robert Campbell explored inland Yukon for the Hudson's Bay Company with the help of French-Canadian guides. In 1874, Francophone fur trader François-Xavier Mercier built the Fort Reliance trading post near the mouth of the Klondike River. During the Klondike Gold Rush in the late 1800s, Francophones were already well established in the area. In the 1980s, the Franco-Yukonnais flag was adopted, and a French school and daycare centre opened. In 1982, the Association franco-yukonnaise was established. École Émilie-Tremblay, the only French-language school in the territory, opened in 1984 and is named in honour of the pioneering spirit and contributions to the community of one of the first Francophone women from Quebec to make the long journey to Dawson, Yukon. In 1988, the Yukon Languages Act was passed, and the French Language Services Office was created. In 2007, the Yukon government proclaimed May 15 as Yukon Francophonie Day"--History, p. [1].
