Marc settled in the Yukon in 1996 and today sits on the board of the Heritage Canada Foundation and the Klondike Visitors’ Association.

Janna Swales is a historical researcher and designer with a yen for museological projects. She is happily situated at the Yukon Transportation Museum trying her hand at a bit of everything. She has been lucky enough to work in several Yukon museums over the past five years: the Copperbelt Railway & Mining Museum in Whitehorse and the George Johnston Museum in Teslin. Janna is particularly interested in linkages of heritage and sense of connection to place: she is currently exploring the importance of strengthening that link within various communities.
