The letter of His Beatitude, Metropolitan Tikhon to the Archdiocese of Canada reads as follows.

We have been praying for, and looking for, a piece of property on which to establish a permanent home for the St. Nikolai of Zhitsa Orthodox Mission in Whitehorse, Yukon. A lot has come available, Lot 21 in the Raven’s Ridge development in Whitehorse (http://ravensridge.ca/) for an asking price of $149,900 that appears to have a good potential for a Church property.
