Filming Activities within the Highway Right-of-Way

In accordance with the Yukon Highways Act, persons or businesses that wish to perform activities within a highway Right-of-Way are required to apply for a permit.
  • Highway Rights of Way are defined as the legal surveyed land/area set aside for highways and roads. This area extends beyond the traveled surface.
  • Highways that are un-maintained also require Permits.
  • The permitting process will involve an assessment of the area, work proposed and a review of the safety concerns associated with that work.
  • Permit applications can take from 4 to 6 weeks to process.
  • Proof of insurance must be provided prior to approval. Applicants shall name the Government of Yukon as “Additional Insured” on their insurance policy. 
Permit applications and further information can be obtained from the Government of Yukon website.
