Fraser is a location on the Klondike Highway in northwestern British Columbia, Canada.

Description

The community has no businesses or permanent residents aside from employees of a Canada Border Services Agency port of entry located there, along with a Yukon territorial government highway maintenance camp and a privately owned micro-hydro project that provides power. Housing in the area is rented out for customs employees and highway workers. Telephone and internet service is provided from the Carcross, Yukon telephone exchange and thus carries the area code 867. The locality's name is pronounced Шаблон:IPAc-en Шаблон:Respell by locals and Yukoners, but Skagwegians pronounce it Шаблон:IPAc-en Шаблон:Respell (like the television sitcom Frasier).Шаблон:Citation needed
