  • Faro is a town in the central Yukon, Canada, the home of the now abandoned . It was the largest open-pit lead–zinc mine in the world as well as a significant producer of silver and other natural resources. The mine was built by the Ralph M. Parsons Construction Company of the United States with General Enterprises Ltd. of Whitehorse being the main subcontractor. As of 2021, the population is 440, down from its peak population of 1,652 in 1981. Faro was named after the card game of the same name. As these industries have declined over the past decade, Faro is attempting to attract ecotourism to the region to view such animals as Dall and Stone sheep. Both species of sheep almost unique to the surrounding area. Several viewing platforms have been constructed in and around the town. One unusual feature of Faro is that it has a golf course running through the main part of town. Lorne Greene, famous for his work in Bonanza and Lorne Greene's New Wilderness, once narrated a film about Faro called A New World in the Yukon. (en)

  • Faro est un village (town) du Yukon au Canada, situé sur la Robert Campbell Highway, entre Carmacks et Ross River. On y trouve d'importantes mines de plomb et de zinc, mais aussi quelques mines d'argent. La population était, en juin 2007, de 400 habitants, alors qu'en 1982, elle était encore de 2 100 personnes. Son nom provient du jeu de carte, le pharaon[réf. nécessaire]. Actuellement, les activités minières locales étant en constante diminution depuis une dizaine d'années, elle tente de diversifier son économie par le tourisme et l'observation de l'écosystème environnant et de la vie animale sauvage. La ville possède un aéroport, Faro Airport. Lorne Greene, a réalisé un film sur Faro, intitulé A New World In the Yukon. En 2019, Leslie Lagier a réalisé North (production : Nicolas Brevière - Local Films), qui raconte l’ambivalence des habitants de Faro par rapport à leur territoire et à la Nature. (fr)

  • Faro – miasto w Kanadzie, w południowej części Jukonu. (pl)
  • Faro é uma vila localizada no território canadense de Yukon, antigamente chamada de "Faro Mine", a maior mina de chumbo e zinco a céu aberto do mundo, bem como uma importante produtora de prata e outros empreendimentos de recursos naturais. A mina foi construída pela Empresa Construtora dos Estados Unidos, sendo a empresa . de Whitehorse a principal subcontratada. Em junho de 2007 a população era de 400 habitantes, consideravelmente mais baixa do que seu pico de 2100 residentes em fevereiro de 1982. Como estas indústrias tiveram declinado durante as últimas décadas, Faro está tentando atrair os eco-turistas para a região, para verem tais animais quase exclusivos da área circundante. Várias plataformas de observação foram construídas dentro e ao redor da cidade. Uma característica única de Faro é que ela tem um campo de golfe correndo pela parte principal da cidade. Os moradores também são convidados para observações frequentes de vida selvagem. Lorne Greene, famoso por seu trabalho na série Bonanza, uma vez narrou um filme sobre Faro chamado A New World no Yukon. (pt)
