2023 :: PJ Yukon Poet Laureate

In 1985 I led a successful campaign to have the Northern Raven declared the official bird of the Yukon.

Bill #12 The Raven Act was passed in the Yukon Legislature in November 1985.

I'm known as The Yukon Raven Lady. Raven is my spirit guide.

A little verse I penned this afternoon.

June 21 2023: Happy Summer Solstice from the Yukon! On the longest day/night it doesn't get dark in the Yukon. The sun just circles the horizon. That's why they call us The Land of The Midnight Sun. These pics of my front door were taken at midnight in the #Yukon on #Solstice 2022 & 2023. #YukonFact

June 19 2023: In most parts of the #Yukon it doesn't get dark in summer. The sun basically circles on the horizon. You can sit outside and read a book at midnight. We get the opposite in winter when we get a bit sun-hungry. Then there's cabin fever. Every positive has a negative. #YukonFact
