Bingo in Yukon: Where and How to Play

Yukon has no full-time bingo hall that we could find. Bingo here is a licensed fundraiser: charity groups have held bingo nights in rented halls in Whitehorse, and much of the territory plays at home over the radio. Last checked: October 2026. The radio bingo details come from the organizers’ own pages. We could not find a 2026 schedule for in-person bingo, so call before you drive.

In-Person Bingo in Whitehorse

In-person bingo in Whitehorse has been played at the Elks Lodge downtown. In 2018 CBC News reported that the lodge rents its hall to groups that run their own bingo nights, so there may be no single house schedule.

Elks Lodge 306 (Whitehorse)

• Address: 401 Hawkins Street, Whitehorse, YT Y1A 1X7 (Directions)
• Phone: (867) 667-2201
• Days and times: Not confirmed for 2026; call the lodge and ask whether any group is running bingo
• Good to know:
  • The 2018 CBC report says the lodge lets a player save only two seats, beside or across from their own.
  • The hall is in regular use: a Whitehorse events listing shows public events there in October and November 2026.

Older online listings also name the Royal Canadian Legion on Alexander Street and the Mount McIntyre Recreation Centre. The Legion branch is now at 503 Steele Street and lists no bingo, and the City’s page for the recreation centre mentions tennis, curling and skiing but no bingo, so neither is listed here. Some old Whitehorse listings also print phone numbers with area codes from outside the territory. Yukon numbers start with 867.
