Wealthy couple chartered a plane to the Yukon, took vaccines doses meant for Indigenous elders, authorities said Antonia Noori Farzan © C) Mark Newman / Lonely Planet Images/Getty Images A Quonset hut repurposed as a Catholic church is among the few landmarks in the tiny, rural community of Beaver Creek. Located deep in Canada’s Yukon, the remote community of Beaver Creek is home to only about 100 people, most of them members of the White River First Nation. So when an unfamiliar couple who claimed to work at a local motel showed up at a mobile clinic to receive coronavirus vaccines, it didn’t take long for locals to become suspicious. Authorities soon found that the couple were actually wealthy Vancouver residents who had chartered a private plane to the isolated outpost so that they could get shots intended to protect vulnerable Indigenous elders.
