Birders
A note from Patty Moore: Regarding the carpet bowling and floor curling on Monday afternoons, we are actively recruiting new people as we’ve lost so many of our members to Whitehorse facilities or they have passed away. We would also welcome out-of-towners that would like to join us any Monday and if they contact me ahead of time by email, I will do a blitz here so people know to come out as we’ll have “guests” and I can make it an “event”. Right now we have one day of chair yoga happening in the Atrium because our instructor is only available Wednesday at 3:45 PM after her work at the school. I am working on lining up another instructor for a second day but at this point only Wednesday is confirmed. We have switched to the Atrium to accommodate a larger group of participants and it’s a lovely space for our class. All adults are welcome, not just Seniors and Elders. It is an excellent muscle and balance exercise. Again, people should contact me for more information if they are interested in coming out and I can let them know what equipment is needed. BGC Yukon

Around Town Community Connections: a support and recovery group
This community has always welcomed birders and in 2020 with the arrival of Canada’s first Hawfinch to Wolf and Sharyn Riedl’s backyard on the now famous Rainbow St. Over the ensuring months Haines Junction birders kept track of the Hawfinch and a steady stream of birders traveled to the community to view this celebrity rarity. Birders were welcomed by the locals to wander their neighbourhood, watch their feeders and quite often were invited inside for a hot drink when temperature were low. Since then a parade of rarities has continued to draw birders to the Junction…Bobolink, Lesser Goldfinch, Black-headed Grosbeaks and multiple Bramblings…. we wonder what next? Pat on the back to all those bird feeders and watchers. And thanks for the recognition and bird food! Haines Junction Public LibraryStorytime and Family Time

What will the SECC do with this information? It depends on what we learn. In some cases, we may choose to lobby and advocate on behalf of our membership. We may also choose to host a follow-up event so our members can collectively bring their concerns forward to the appropriate parties. Either way, we might not know what the issues are unless you tell us. It's your choice: You can submit an anonymous survey or you can include your business name and contact information.

St Elias Chamber of Commerce Stimulating Community Investment ProjectThe St. Elias Chamber of Commerce (SECC) would like to stimulate investment within Haines Junction. Within the community, there are several abandoned, derelict, undeveloped, underdeveloped, dormant, and “tired” properties. In some cases, these properties may pose environmental hazards, reflect poorly on the community, or tie up lands that could be better used to benefit the community and its economy. There are investors who would like to invest in Haines Junction, but who need a better understanding of the potential and limitations of these properties. While there are many reasons why these properties are the way they are, in most cases, the reasons are poorly understood or based on speculation. As such the St. Elias Chamber of Commerce (SECC) would like to inventory and investigate these properties and find ways to help unlock their potential. It is the hope of the project partners that better information about these properties – with accompanying recommendations for specific and systemic changes – will lead to increased investment in the community.
