His craft has led him throughout northern Canada and the world. Roberts says travel has led him to form connections to a broader artistic community. “Through that I have met quite a few other artists,” he says. “I’ve taken what they taught me and I’ve incorporated in what I do and vice versa. It’s an exchange of knowledge and enhancements to your art form.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626473640033-JNM184GKPTN8PUP43MNO/student+with+ulu.jpeg Blog - Crafting an ulu - Make it stand out James Bai, from Markham, Ont., holds up his nearly completed ulu. “I knew an ulu was a special northern type of knife,” he says. “Not that I’m a knife collector, but I’ve always been interested in them so I thought how cool would it be to make a knife in this style that really started in the north?” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626473518648-QPOR7IA7NVC73J2QK3HP/Roberts+teaches.jpeg Blog - Crafting an ulu - Make it stand out Participants in Roberts’ workshop craft their own unique knives. “A few years after getting started making my own knives, I started to realize that there was a need for education and teaching and getting more people involved,” he says. https://storiesnorth.com/blog/cultural-connections monthly 0.5 2021-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626476515189-J3VG9EHDW3673R9J2CHF/knife+making.jpeg Blog - Cultural connections - Make it stand out George Roberts, 70, says he decided to research knife-making when he realized that it has become a lost art form, and because he could not find a high-quality knife at a department store for hunting and fishing. He spent several years connecting with blacksmiths and leather makers, and researching steel to create his own art. Over 40 years, he has travelled and shared knowledge with other Indigenous communities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626476781601-PSVTRUQI1ES2EHUUZS3E/Florence+Moses2.jpeg Blog - Cultural connections - Make it stand out Moses’s own pieces, such as the Babiche bag above, always tell a story from her ancestors. She says this Babiche bag is one of two made about her grandfather’s story on the Northern Tutchone people. During the winter when food was scarce, they would attract fish by building fires along the shores of Ethel Lake. The men would go ice fishing and throw the fish to shore so the women could prepare the meal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626476622510-F6WCLG1JTYPRUVJK2TI9/Piona+Keyuakjuk.jpeg Blog - Cultural connections - Make it stand out For Piona Keyuakjuk, 30, carving is a family tradition, which he has practiced for 15 years. He learned through watching his father, Moses, carve by hand. Thus, he prefers using hand tools instead of machines. Keyuakjuk recalls hunting with Moses and watching him run fast. His father died 10 years ago. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626476575881-5CA93JNHLZA8JPENU7Q7/beluga+knife.jpeg Blog - Cultural connections - Make it stand out The knife in the picture above is a Beluga whale design Roberts learned from the Inuit. He says sharing his work and knowledge “opens a door” to Indigenous communities through respect. He adds he is called the “Great Knife Shaman” by the Inuit people in the North after forming a connection with them for five years. “Let’s just say my hair was short then, and it was totally standing up,” says Roberts. “That is an honour and something I hold in my heart.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626476746358-SKIQ02Z24GX9K54L70H7/Florence+Moses-beading.jpeg Blog - Cultural connections - Make it stand out Florence Moses, 50, says she learned beadwork by sitting and watching her mother and grandmother sew. Moses explains that beading is part of her “genetic memory,” something that is in you and part of who you are. She says that when an Indigenous person loses their art, they also lose their stories, skills from their ancestors, cultural connectivity with their children and grandchildren, and identity as Indigenous men and women. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626476545865-ALJOCTRKWUXUEC4LRDZG/knives.jpeg Blog - Cultural connections - Make it stand out Roberts, who identifies as Cree, says knives not only connect First Nations but all people since it is a tool everyone uses. An example is an ulu, a round shaped knife used by Inuit women in the Arctic, for skinning mammals. Roberts says it is important to share this knowledge, else it becomes lost. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626476709127-5CVV6723Z6G1PFQFCMGF/Diane+Olson.jpeg Blog - Cultural connections - Make it stand out For Diane Olson, 57, beadwork connects her with her heritage. Still, she uses her own style, like wire-working in stones. Olson says she grew up watching her mother and grandmother and started to bead herself in her mid-teens. She didn’t bead as much after leaving for school, but she felt she was missing out every time she would see her mother bead and wanted to learn from her to carry it on. She fell in love with the craft four or five years ago after joining a beading group. She says she is trying to share her knowledge to her 10-year-old granddaughter and is hoping to teach classes after she retires. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626476809945-F723TNW2ZF05J2FT6I8O/Florence+Moses-beading.jpeg Blog - Cultural connections - Make it stand out Moses says the blue colour represents the water, the brown with the beadwork shows the flowers and medicines that grow on their land, and the orange and red beads represent the salmon. “To be able to carry on an art form that my grandmothers have done for generations and generations … an art form that tells us who we are, where we come from, so that we have that self-pride and self determination to carry forward, that’s why beadwork is very important,” says Moses.

He says his biggest influence is his uncle, who would make him stare at objects, like flowers, to build up his visual memory. Khoda says he was taught that his ancestors come to life through art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626476487117-259FLT15PF7BEDS5KQQP/artwork+on+wall.jpeg Blog - Cultural connections - Make it stand out Behind these handmade objects are stories of shared knowledge and memories. https://storiesnorth.com/blog/eugene-alfred-carver-and-sculptor monthly 0.5 2021-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626478242526-L40HTDRSXS0LL12BIK7M/Northern+Tuchone+style+sculptures.jpeg Blog - Eugene Alfred: carver and sculptor - Make it stand out Alfred creates sculptures in the Northern Tutchone style of art, which is known for rigid linework and distinct centre lines.

The carving of Beaver Man he is currently working on is destined for a museum in northern Japan. He has work displayed in Canada’s Senate building. “My art helps define me. It helps me understand and respect our land, who and what we are,” he says. “It gives me a direction and leads me down a path. It opens a door for others to follow. They can come along and hear the stories.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626478176596-69UW7U6FI8YRFJS1R0T2/carving+with+hammer.jpeg Blog - Eugene Alfred: carver and sculptor - Make it stand out Alfred says his art opens doors and builds relationships. “I travel the world with it.

This is common, Alfred says, noting many communities have had pieces of art stolen and they are very difficult to find. The artists and owners are never compensated, and the objects are never returned, he says. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626478007486-S3NX0QBYWPZDIQF640ZQ/Eugene+Alfred.jpeg Blog - Eugene Alfred: carver and sculptor - Make it stand out Eugene Alfred, a carver and sculptor of Northern Tutchone and Tlingit ancestry, showcases his craft at the Adäka Cultural Festival on July 2. His current project is a carving which honours Beaver Man, an important figure in Alfred’s Indigenous history who had the body of a man, but the tail and teeth of a beaver. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626478068084-673OAM3COWKMBKE23VD4/sketch.jpeg Blog - Eugene Alfred: carver and sculptor - Make it stand out Alfred’s grandmother was known for her beadwork and his uncle was a sketch artist. Alfred was exposed to art early and frequently. At early ages, he says, he would draw on cardboard and carve his own toys out of wood using pocket knives. He outlines his pieces with pencil before carving. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626478034466-GM9DK7MCV6P4P1K6NT25/carving+tools.jpeg Blog - Eugene Alfred: carver and sculptor - Make it stand out Alfred, of the Crow clan, grew up with his grandparents hunting and fishing. “We didn’t have much,” he says. “A lot of it came from the land.” Now, Alfred uses Swiss carving tools to create his art. He uses larger tools for rough work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626478093020-1A30IN44QYU9JPSQKG6J/carving.jpeg Blog - Eugene Alfred: carver and sculptor - Make it stand out He attended and taught at Ksan, an Indigenous art school in northern British Columbia. He says his art allows him to connect to his culture, his community and his history. He shapes the wood through rough work before carving more detail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626478208268-KNUABC76JLU27VJ1GVA4/Beaver+Man+carving.jpeg Blog - Eugene Alfred: carver and sculptor - Make it stand out Next to Alfred’s current project is another carving of Beaver Man, this one sitting upright in a resting pose.

She would ensure that the height was about five centimetres, and the length and width varied depending on her craft projects. She would then “bend it like bone marrow,” and use pieces of cardboard on the threads for stability while weaving. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626542094305-5SMDZA555AA3IBQS3WFY/beading+close+up.jpeg Blog - Sewing: One woman’s journey to healing - Make it stand out Shirley Kakfwi started crafting little necklaces when she was eight years old, mostly out of boredom at residential school. There were no games or cellphones at the time. Even if they had existed, Kakfwi says, First Nations children would not have been allowed to use them anyway. She is now able to sew almost anything: slippers, vests, knife holders, moccasins and more. “Although it requires a lot of patience, sewing is my passion now.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626542324437-XOR9U0H8V42Y0S996PJD/9_GrandchildBabybelt_Shirley.jpeg Blog - Sewing: One woman’s journey to healing - Make it stand out Kakfwi says that even if she does not sell any of her sewed gadgets at the Adäka Cultural Festival, there are people in Old Crow waiting for her to get back to buy them. More than anything, she says she is excited to see her three grandchildren. Kakfwi made the baby belt pictured above for the youngest, who is just two. She says her eldest granddaughter has expressed several times that she wants to be taught to sew by her grannie. “I don’t miss them. They’re waiting for me,” Kakfwi says with a wide smile. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626542213107-69BBSW65F1S5CTJV9JLQ/6_Cardboard_Shirley.jpeg Blog - Sewing: One woman’s journey to healing - Make it stand out Kakfwi, who lives in Old Crow, has a son and a daughter.

Twelve years ago, they bought a motor coach bus that they converted into a motorhome. After driving it around Australia a few times, they decided they wanted to go to Europe and possibly South America. Today, they own motorhomes in the United States, Germany and Australia. According to their shared business card, they’re “International Grey Nomads.” When they’re in the mood to travel, they just fly to wherever they last parked one of their motorhomes and start driving. “We did have another one in South America until last year, but we sold that one because we’re finished South America,” says Tony. “We went right from the very bottom up to Colombia and everywhere in between.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626543069291-FDQE67ZDRZ9L9MMB39V2/kitchy+license+plates.jpeg Blog - Return of the ‘International Grey Nomads' - Make it stand out The parking lot is full of personality, creating contrast with what has become a symbol of American consumerism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626543173606-RN2UYAJ40PM7YD3ONIHM/Photo%2Bnarrative%2B-%2BMercer%2B-%2B5.jpeg Blog - Return of the ‘International Grey Nomads' - Make it stand out Tony Lee and his wife, Betty Lee, just pulled into the parking lot. Their road trip started six weeks ago, near Dallas, Texas. They’re not planning to linger here long. “I guess there’s two sorts of motor homes. There’s ones like us who are travellers. We don’t sit anywhere for long periods of time,” says Tony, when asked why he and Betty chose to stay the night in the parking lot. “For us, because we’re moving around and don’t have a destination, Walmarts are fantastic because we don't have to make reservations, it doesn’t cost us anything, and nearly every Walmart will let you stay if you're reasonable and ask.” A different sort of camper might stay in one place for months at a time, sometimes to escape cold winters back home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626543397377-AOLU3X2HI8Z9ABG1TLQE/Photo%2Bnarrative%2B-%2BMercer%2B-%2B8.jpeg Blog - Return of the ‘International Grey Nomads' - Make it stand out Betty and Tony say they saw more than half a dozen bears in the days leading up to their arrival in Whitehorse.

A steady stream of vehicles, fresh off the road, are lined up at the gas pumps. Drivers are stretching their legs, walking the short distance into the Walmart to pick up whatever they’ve been missing on the road. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626543004036-T6Q8NYKK2JVIDF8YA6IW/whitehorse+map.jpeg Blog - Return of the ‘International Grey Nomads' - Make it stand out Every summer, the Walmart parking lot in Whitehorse swells full of camper vans. Walmart has a long-standing tradition of welcoming campers overnight, without the fees and advance reservations required by most recreational vehicle (RV) parks. Since Whitehorse’s first Walmart opened in 2001, RV park owners have voiced concerns about lost revenue — a sentiment that many of Whitehorse’s independent businesses shared when the big-box giant opened. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626543104397-KL9CUNTDAM4ZFE66KZHG/Photo%2Bnarrative%2B-%2BMercer%2B-%2B4.jpeg Blog - Return of the ‘International Grey Nomads' - Make it stand out A converted school bus holds what looks like a homemade motorbike. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626543370005-UPRWJL7W2RRJI0LM2A1N/Tony+and+betty+interview.jpeg Blog - Return of the ‘International Grey Nomads' - Make it stand out “We have this policy, well it's not a policy, it's just accidental policy I suppose, that we never see everything that needs to be seen,” Tony jokes, “because then we can go back and see the other bits that we didn't see last time.” That’s what Tony and Betty are doing now. They’ve been to the Yukon and through Alaska before, driving up the West Coast from California.

The first collaborative mosaic she worked on was at an art festival in Inuvik. “In the evenings once the gallery closed you’d have eight artists sitting around a table working on it, and you talk about whatever’s going on,” she says. “You share, and you glue some stuff on a board.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626554897721-WYQJWVKS0GOZJKOLOA44/MercrediWorking.jpeg Blog - Glasswork - Make it stand out Artisans attending this year’s Adäka Cultural Festival in Whitehorse have each come up with unique ways of celebrating this year’s theme of life in the circumpolar north. Glasswork artist Rosalind Mercredi is no exception. Underneath an artisan’s tent behind the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre, Mercredi facilitated a collaborative glass mosaic project during the festival’s seven-day span. Festival participants and fellow artisans were encouraged to contribute a design of their own to the mosaic relating to life in the north. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626554976591-WUXX8YO9L5K4A9EP8BV2/MosaicOverhead.jpeg Blog - Glasswork - Make it stand out The Arctic Circle is represented with pieces of triangular green glass around the sun at the centre of the mosaic, with a ring comprised of the four colours of the medicine wheel also helping to frame the northern imagery included in the artwork. “I’m thinking we should do a teepee, maybe an igloo, whatever the traditional housing is in Siberia,” Mercredi says as she works to complete a glass caribou on the mosaic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626555102665-DOQUD911A2JYKFFG8ZE0/GlassCutting.jpeg Blog - Glasswork - Make it stand out “These are the glass snippers,” Mercredi says. “You want to use small glass pieces.

Looking at what has been added to the board so far, Mercredi can identify who has added which elements to the project. “We’ve got berry bushes; some ladies from Fort Liard did those,” she says. “A little boy did that killer whale yesterday. It’s just kind of an idea of people working on things. It just comes together in the end.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626555066740-CEX6P4FQ9O85V5GH5GZ6/MosaicClose.jpeg Blog - Glasswork - Make it stand out Mercredi sketches a whale onto the mosaic board that will later be created out of glass, while other participants add to the artwork. The northern imagery depicted throughout the mosaic, surrounded by the Arctic Circle and medicine wheel, is meant to demonstrate the interconnectedness of life throughout the circumpolar north. “While people work on it, they talk and they share,” Mercredi says about the process. https://storiesnorth.com/blog/molten-glass monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626557197808-SY85X0XVDXCH68VPK7FX/Lumel%2B1.jpeg Blog - Molten Glass - Make it stand out Lumel Studios, the first glass-blowing facility in the Yukon, opens its doors early on a bright Wednesday morning.

Ashley recalls stories he learned over his smithing career in a territory with such a rich history as he sculpts the finishing touches on the wolf claw cap. “Lots of people went to Dawson who had nothing anywhere else, so Dawson started to look pretty attractive,” he says. “They were nothing if not completely naïve in terms of how mining [works].” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626555831692-9LDW78RAPSAGL0SCD77V/Gold_9.jpeg Blog - Goldsmith - Make it stand out Only a small number of customers stop by the studio daily, but Ashley doesn’t mind, he’s busy working on around two orders a day with a full working schedule until September. “Variety is what makes this interesting, so we do lots of custom orders and when custom orders are driving us nuts, we do stuff based around a theme,” he says. “We did a show on bugs, a show on the ocean, and two shows on the Vikings.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626555630534-49M21RHLH4B23Y71AL53/Gold_4.jpeg Blog - Goldsmith - Make it stand out A log home builder from the Dawson City area asked Ashley to sculpt a custom golden cap for a wolf claw he found on the job. In addition to unique pieces, Ashley says he also enjoys smithing more traditional works like rings and bracelets. “There’s nothing wrong with just making rings,” he says. “You get to see parts of people’s lives making rings.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626555552809-KMY7IPEIB7T5HQFUQL5C/Gold_2.jpeg Blog - Goldsmith - Make it stand out David Ashley (pictured) and Cheryl Rivest opened the studio in the early 1990s and currently work mainly in custom orders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626555588224-VM40IQGNDDUHCODJQBOD/Gold_3.jpeg Blog - Goldsmith - Make it stand out Ashley began working as a production goldsmith after studying metal sculpting at the Philadelphia College of Art.

There is just something about the expressions that can capture someone’s attention,” says Khoda. “I always start with the eyes. If you get the eyes just right, nothing else really matters. The story is always in the eyes, whether in a painting or in real life. You just have to pay attention.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626557992897-HOZ7KO7MA3I8LR264ZB3/twobrush_edited.jpeg Blog - Human Nature - Make it stand out “A big focus of my art is First Nations culture,” Khoda says. “We are both originally from colonized countries and they accepted me with open arms.

He says calligraphy is still important to him today as it is a way for him to feel connected to his family and his ancestors’ traditions. After years of practice and expanding his craft, the artisan was hired at 17 for his first commission – two murals at the Heart of Riverdale Dance Studio. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626557939810-QAS57LVZRNHXF476BVLK/paintbuckets_edited.jpeg Blog - Human Nature - Make it stand out When he first moved to Canada eight years ago, Khoda was confused by the education system. “I was terrified,” Khoda says. “Here education is industrial, like a factory. At home we teach out of love and respect – something I think we have in common with the First Nations of the Yukon.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626558196801-EE19QPNNUP1P77V24TAU/smile_art_edited.jpeg Blog - Human Nature - Make it stand out “I have spent some time figuring out that there are a lot of similarities across the planet, but people always seem to focus on the differences. I wish that was not so,” says Khoda. “Maybe that is why I love art so much – to figure out who I am and how I fit in with my community. You draw and paint what you need.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626557895371-4IUZ7WFYBRK3BFW47X1D/elder_edited.jpeg Blog - Human Nature - Make it stand out Originally from Qeshm, Iran, Khoda moved to the Yukon when he was 15 to avoid mandatory military service required of all high school students. When he arrived in Canada, Khoda did not know any English – something he says he was teased and bullied for by many of his peers. Khoda says he found comfort in a peer from the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation and learned English from his new friend in just over five months. https://storiesnorth.com/blog/the-trolley monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626558704550-G6H5A1L5MUGA2F6KJDY1/Wurmann_PhotoEssay_8.jpeg Blog - The Trolley - Make it stand out David Pankhurst rode the waterfront trolley during his month-long trip to the Yukon and Alaska.

One day when he was driving the trolley a few summers ago, he says he spotted a pair of boots sticking up from under the tracks. “I turned to the young lady I was working with, and I said, ‘Go out there and check if there’s a dead guy under there!’ But she said, ‘No, no no!’ So I said, ‘Yeah, it’s your job to check if there’s a dead guy under there,’” Trim says with a laugh. “But I ran out there and checked, like the good guy I am, and it was just a pair of boots. It sure looked like a dead guy.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626558447407-WXAD7T3A8LZ1FHM417TU/Wurmann_PhotoEssay_1.jpeg Blog - The Trolley - Make it stand out The Whitehorse Waterfront Trolley is up and running again this summer after being closed for maintenance last year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626558550794-Z49UYLZ9WQFWQ7DMIXIN/Wurmann_PhotoEssay_4.jpeg Blog - The Trolley - Make it stand out Trim is joined on the trolley by Nylan Zalitis, an 18-year-old from Whitehorse who works as an interpreter for the MacBride Museum, which owns the waterfront trolley.

These days he’s the trolley conductor for the popular tourist attraction that runs alongside the multi-use path on the Yukon River in downtown Whitehorse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626558631182-2HGMHE7R77T0XN58FYXD/Wurmann_PhotoEssay_6.jpeg Blog - The Trolley - Make it stand out When the White Pass and Yukon Route was finished in 1900, it became the easiest way to get from Skagway to Whitehorse, says Zalitis. “Previously you had to climb over the Chilkoot or White Pass — that’s where you see all those gold rush pictures,” he says. Once the train arrived in Whitehorse, sternwheelers would bring up goods and people to Dawson. After the gold rush, Zalitis says the rail line was also used extensively during the construction of the Alaska Highway. “The U.S. Army leased the railroad, and they basically brought in 25 trains a day. Previously Whitehorse had only one train per weekend,” he remarks. The White Pass and Yukon Route would go on to keep bringing supplies to Whitehorse until the mine in Faro closed in 1982, Zalitis says. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626558665310-BO6WG66ZOW3ZHRWUA5S0/Wurmann_PhotoEssay_7.jpeg Blog - The Trolley - Make it stand out “I don’t know if people from Whitehorse always think of the line that’s under us. Because really, that’s the famous thing. The trolley’s from Portugal, built in 1925, it has no relationship to us,” Zalitis says. “But people only really only care for the trolley. Because it’s fun. They’ve seen it on the waterfront, and kids love it. But I really hope that they grow up and then they learn about the White Pass and why it’s so important. The fact that really it was the only connection we had out of the Yukon for so, so long, before roads were built, before airplanes were really used. And it was really useful for the gold rush. As much as the trolley is great and all, I hope one day that we do get another locomotive on here that is related to the White Pass route.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626558740162-RA32C35XNOA7T7TZP9GE/Wurmann_PhotoEssay_9.jpeg Blog - The Trolley - Make it stand out Pankhurst is just one of the hundreds of visitors to Whitehorse that take in the trolley experience. Although they don’t have official statistics, Zalitis says on July 3, 2018, about 120 passengers rode the trolley. On Canada Day, he says, there was standing room only. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626558595556-MCKAHNAFTBB0JK0GQI3V/Wurmann_PhotoEssay_5.jpeg Blog - The Trolley - Make it stand out The waterfront trolley runs along the historic route of the White Pass and Yukon Route, a rail line that connected Skagway, Alaska, with Whitehorse for over 80 years before it closed in 1982. However, the trolley used on the route today was never used in Whitehorse, nor was it even built in Canada. Instead, Zalitis says the trolley was built in Portugal in 1925, and shipped over to North America in the ‘80s. There are small reminders of the trolley’s Portuguese past throughout the trolley, such as a sign that says “24 lugares,” which means “24 seats” in Portuguese. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626558772720-4YHZG0PQQ53SFJYPHDXF/Wurmann_PhotoEssay_10.jpeg Blog - The Trolley - Make it stand out This summer the Whitehorse Waterfront Trolley runs from Rotary Park to the Trolley Roundhouse at Front and Wood streets, with stops at the Visitor Information Centre and the old White Pass Station. Next year, Zalitis says MacBride Museum hopes to open up the full trolley line from the Trolley Roundhouse to Spook Creek Station. https://storiesnorth.com/blog/itsy-bitsy-yarn-store monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626559079846-26G0LJ6JAL3SW82XJ37F/ROBINSON2.jpeg Blog - Itsy-Bitsy Yarn Store - Make it stand out Heather Sealey celebrates the two-year anniversary of when she took over as the store’s proprietor. She says the previous owners, a couple from France, had suddenly fulfilled their dream of purchasing a sailboat, and so were looking to sell their business. The Manitoba native, who holds a master’s degree in environmental geochemistry, was having difficulty finding work and so she jumped at the chance to purchase the business. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626559043621-9JEISG7YHVK0L37PFFTQ/ROBINSON1.jpeg Blog - Itsy-Bitsy Yarn Store - Make it stand out Five years ago, Itsy-Bitsy Yarn Store opened in the incubator space at the Horwoods Mall in downtown Whitehorse. At just 160 square feet in size, the miniature location gave the store its name. About a year later, the store moved into its current space, now with ample room for row upon row of colourful skeins of yarn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626559256925-XFBVDFZ4P6TDHYVK491A/ROBINSON7.jpeg Blog - Itsy-Bitsy Yarn Store - Make it stand out The whole process takes just a few minutes to convert a skein into a ball.

For the Canada 150 celebrations last year, the knitting community planned to knit 150 pairs of socks to donate to Whitehorse’s outreach van, but surpassed their goal with a total of 186 pairs. “I wouldn’t say it was an uphill climb, it was a series of vertical cliffs to learn everything, but it’s been a wonderful journey so far.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626559222312-AMSJIBY7WR2D0VSX86Y9/ROBINSON6.jpeg Blog - Itsy-Bitsy Yarn Store - Make it stand out As Sealey turns the handle of the wool winder, it transforms a skein of wool into a compact ball of yarn for her customers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626559156499-12T47KD1GNGEXMAJOF6O/ROBINSON4.jpeg Blog - Itsy-Bitsy Yarn Store - Make it stand out Itsy-Bitsy Yarn Store is stocked with Canadian- and Yukon-made products, such as carved yarn holders and fur scrap pompoms.

Sealey offers ball-winding services for free, but in lieu of payment she accepts donations to a local charity that she chooses each month. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ba769d0708692f8ac9cdf7/1626559368252-84TSGXHK5QS518QAMM4U/ROBINSON10.jpeg Blog - Itsy-Bitsy Yarn Store - Make it stand out Sealey says she is among a tight-knit group of female business owners in the Horwoods Mall.

Many of the skeins are dyed by local artists, and soon Sealey will count herself among them. She plans to launch her own brand of yarn products later this year. https://storiesnorth.com/blog/and-then-i-met-charlie monthly 0.5 2021-09-07
