A Territory Full of Talent

Community Involvement

Apr 16, 2009  Comment

Over the last several days, Yukon Energy has had the chance to be involved first hand in community projects that show just how much talent there is in the territory.

On April 3, we sponsored the Grade 11 and 12 category of a workplace safety student video competition organized by the Yukon Workers' Compensation Health and Safety Board. All the entries were of a high calibre, and we want to recognize the winners and thank them for their work, which in all cases provides some important safety messages we should all take to heart.

The winners are:
First Place: Graham Rudge, for his video Use the Brain
Second Place: Jonathan Quarton, for Rewinding Time
Honourable Mention: Willow Gamberg for her video about various workplace hazards

All the winners are students of the MAD (Music, Art and Drama) Program at Wood Street School in Whitehorse. 

Over the Easter weekend, Dawson City held its 10th Annual International Short Film Festival. A number of awards were given out, including two sponsored by our Corporation: the Yukon Energy MITY (Made in the Yukon) Award, and the Yukon Energy MITY Emerging Talent Award.

We would like to congratulate all the winners:

MITY Award:
First Place: How People Got Fire by Daniel Janke
Second Place: Dog=God by Lulu Keating and Karen Hines

MITY Emerging Talent Award:
First Place: Writer's Block by Andrew Sharp
Second Place: No Fixed Address by Naomi Mark
Honourable Mention: Game Over by Marie-Eve Julien

Yukon Energy has a mandate to give back some of our profits to community groups, and we take that mandate very seriously. If you would like to know more about our Corporate Contributions program, you can find details on our website or you can leave a comment on this blog and we will respond.
