The mild temperatures we've experienced in Whitehorse over the last couple of days remind us that spring isn't that far off. In Yukon, one of the ways we celebrate spring is with a visit to Swan Haven, where we can see the hundreds of trumpeter swans and other waterfowl that stop to feed and rest on their migration northward.
Yukon Energy has been a strong supporter of the Celebration of Swans Festival for many years. Part of that festival involves the creation each year of a collectible poster featuring a local piece of art. The image you see on this page is the 2007 poster, with photography by Dr. Ken Quong. Next Friday, the 11th, is the deadline for artists to submit their entries for this year's poster. We encourage as many people as possible to make a submission. You can learn more by visiting Environment Yukon's website.
