Paul Cyr Loved Cats Exhibit Opening
2018-02-14 17:00 - 19:30 | Yukon Transportation Museum, 30 Electra Crescent, Whitehorse, Yukon, Y1A 0M7, Canada
Alice started volunteering at the YTM in 2016 taking on the immense job of cataloguing/accessioning a very large collection of primarily WP&YR photographs and items she had donated to the museum earlier in the year. Her accessioning work includes using a scanner; several computer programs she was previously unfamiliar with, recording in depth information on both the collection as a whole and on each individual item. Her donation and her work with it has been a huge benefit to the YTM collection, but it doesn’t end there.
Previously the museum’s collections work area competed with a myriad of other ongoing tasks being done in the same space. Our ED Janna worked with Alice to create a dedicated collections and research work area. As snowballs rolling downhill grow in size, so do Alice’s tasks. She took on the project management for installing a window in the new space and she somewhat willingly became a guinea pig for our new collections system which compartmentalises the accessioning process. The process allows community members to contribute to one or more parts of collections care. As we did this she told us wonderful stories about her husband and each story was exhibit worthy. She took on creating this exhibit which is available online on our website at https://goytm.ca/paul-cyr-loved-cats/. This exhibit is a demonstration of community created exhibits, and it is now created as a physical exhibit.

Alice’s time spent at YTM so far is amazing and what has come out of her contribution is even greater. She has now personally contributed to every aspect of working with the collection she donated, including exhibition. She has been our muse to create this inclusive system, therefore enhancing the community’s ability to interact with their history in a profound way.

Whitehorse 9-11
2017-09-11 18:30 - 20:30 | Yukon Transportation Museum, 30 Electra Crescent, Whitehorse, Yukon, Y1A 0M7, Canada
Please join us for this Sept 11 screening of Never Happen Here: the Whitehorse 9/11 Story and hear, for the first time ever Al Lucier speak of his experience on the day.
Allan Lucier is a retired RCMP office. On September 11, 2001 Allan was responsible for RCMP communications which extended from local updates to interactions with the North America Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). In this capacity Allan provided vital information to the Whitehorse Public and maintained active and open channels with the decisions makers of the day. This “inside the operations” perspective will provide a unique window into the events in Whitehorse. Since 911, Allan and his family have lived in BC and Ontario, and now reside again here in Whitehorse.

Vehicle of Expression: Ft. Helen O'Connor
2017-08-22 10:00 - 2017-08-26 18:00 | Yukon Transportation Museum, 30 Electra Crescent, Whitehorse, Yukon, Y1A 0M7, Canada
We don’t know what Helen will create with our Whitehorse Street Piano, nevertheless it will be a vehicle of expression.
Come and watch her work with our stand-up grand and the theme of Yukon transportation from Tuesday August 22nd through Saturday August 26th roughly 10-6. Call us at 668-4792 if you want to know her schedule of the day. Regular museum admission applies.
Look what we found inside the piano – what a great business card!

Helen O’Connor: Originally from Ontario, O’Connor studied visual art at the University of Western Ontario and at the Ontario College of Art. During her studies, O’Connor was introduced to techniques for oriental and western papermaking by professor, Helmut Becker. Inspired by Becker’s work, which utilizes paper innovatively as a vehicle of expression, O’Connor began a journey of her own paper explorations.
