The Klondike Gold Rush contributed a lot towards Canada's economy. It brought over 22 million dollars into our economy which is over a billion dollars today. It also brought many people to
Canada increasing its population, as it did to Dawson, Vancouver's and
Edmonton's population. The gold rush also largely contributed towards Yukon's confederation in June 13, 1898. The gold rush also helped us expand by bringing more people and the money to do so, and bring electrical lights to the major cities rather than just Dawson. In the end the
Klondike Gold Rush made Canada stronger and a more independent country which in the end made Canada the country that it is today.

It wasn't made of tents as it did earlier but a city with buildings, fire hydrants, hospitals and was the first city in north America to have electrical lights, it was paradise. It was also safe thanks to the Northwest Mounted Police as they kept order in the new city and kept outlaws outside such as "Soapy
Smith". Dawson attracted thousands and largely contributed to Yukon becoming a province of Canada in June 13, 1898. Dawson was not the only city in which their population increased, Vancouver B.C's population doubled and in Edmonton, Alberta's population tripled.
