The Klondike is not in one of Canada's provinces. It's in one of the territories: Yukon.
The Yukon Territory
Klondike is a region of the Yukon Territory in Northwest Canada, just east of the Alaskan border. On 16 August 1896, rich gold deposits were found in Bonanza (Rabbit) Creek, a tributary of the Klondike River. This sparked the Klondike goldrush of 1897-98. News of the discovery reached the United States in July, 1897, and within a month thousands of people were leaving their homes and jobs and pouring into the north. Over the next six months, approximately 100,000 gold-seekers set off for the Yukon: only 30,000 completed the trip.
People went to Alaska in the late 1800s because gold was discovered in the Klondike region. It was called the Klondike Gold Rush.
During the Klondike Gold Rush (or Yukon Gold Rush), there was massive immigration and gold prospecting along the Dawson River in the Yukon Territory, in Northwestern Canada.
By boat. Dawson is accessible via the Yukon river.
That old saying is referring to a region of the Yukon Territory around the Klondike River. And yes, it`s a very cold place!
The Atlantic region of Canada was discovered by John Cabot in 1497.
