Robert Service

Known as the “Bard of the Yukon,” Robert Service (1874–1958) was one of Canada’s most beloved poets, famed for his vivid, rhythmic tales of the northern frontier. His narrative poems—like The Cremation of Sam McGee and The Shooting of Dan McGrew—captured the spirit, humour, and hardship of life in the Klondike and beyond.

This room gathers spoken word recordings, musical adaptations, and dramatic readings of Service’s timeless verse, performed by both professionals and everyday Canadians. A tribute to the man who turned frozen landscapes and rough-hewn characters into poetic legend, Robert Service remains a cornerstone of Canadian literary and oral tradition. Rugged, rollicking, and unforgettable.
