Honouring Ed Chambers

Once again this year, Yukon Energy will award several scholarships to Yukoners studying at post-secondary institutions. This year, we have renamed one of our scholarships to honour a former member of Yukon Energy’s Board of Directors. The trades scholarship that we set up a couple of years ago has been re-named the Ed Chambers Memorial Trades Scholarship.

Ed Chambers sat on our Board from 1991 to 2004, making him one of the longest serving members we’ve ever had. He was a tremendous asset to Yukon Energy and when he passed away in the fall of 2007 we wanted to do something to recognize the contribution he made. Since Mr. Chambers was a mechanic and heavy equipment operator by trade, we thought offering a trades scholarship in his name would be a good way of honouring him.
