ANNOUNCEMENT NOVEMBER 14 2024

 
This is a formal statement announcing my official resignation as Poet Laureate of the Yukon on November 13 2024. *This website will soon be nonexistent.
 

Yesterday I resigned as Poet Laureate of the Yukon. Within hours the commissioner posted an abolishment of my title. I knew it was coming.

 

Thirty years ago I was officially invested as first Poet Laureate of the Yukon at a ceremony in Whitehorse on Canada Day. It was an honour to serve.

 

I will continue to promote the Yukon and the Canadian literary arts and artists. I will also continue to speak for those who have no voice as an animal rights advocate, and for people with a learning disability and other issues.

 
I want to thank all supporters and visitors who have joined me in my journey as laureate. It's been a pleasure to share my homeland with you in verse, story, song and photos. Perhaps we will meet again in another universe.
 
 
Thank You
Mahsi-Cho!

As the daughter of a Yukon trapper I grew up wearing Mukluks but I have never trapped a day in my life. I don't eat meat and I no longer wear fur. I am an animal rights advocate.

The Jewel in Canada's Crown!

The Yukon is my homeland. It is a glorious 186,000 thousand square miles of some of the most pristine wilderness in the world. We are the jewel in Canada's crown. Sled dogs have always been our helpmates. As an animal rights advocate I campaign to protect them.
