Kenny Linsay Since I`ve been in the Yukon, I have also worked off and on for the NGO, Bringing Youth Towards Equality (BYTE), on their facilitation team, travelling to different Yukon communities delivering various workshops to youth. That job has taken me to every community except of Burwash and Beaver Creek, and has given me several, AWESOME, learning as well as teaching opportunities. I have also been a part of Yukon College`s board of governor`s, and have experienced compromise, and the benefit of different opinions, skills, and experiences people bring to boards. So with those and other experiences, I look forward to joining the YHMA board. Glenn Iceton Glenn Iceton is a born and raised Yukoner who began working in the heritage field in 2003 as a summer student at the Old Log Church Museum.

After a brief hiatus from the heritage field to complete his MA in History, Glenn has returned to Whitehorse and is currently working as auxiliary staff at the Yukon Archives and the Land Claims Implementation Secretariat in addition to working as a heritage contractor.
