In February we turned ten years old!  Much has changed along the way, and MusicYukon has kept pace with all these changes  as befits an industry that generates over $8 Million a year in the Yukon.

More changes will occur over the short while, starting first with our marketing ventures.  It is a new fiscal year, so our funding programs need to be renewed and/or finalised.  We had a GREAT 'season' over the past winter and are looking forward to capitalizing on that.

At the same time we are trying move ahead with our Resource Centre, making changes to serve our members better.

12 MAY 08

We want to ensure that anyone wanting access to the MusicYukon Resource Centre (RC) gets it.  So, like a 'regular business', we have revised the hours to guarantee there are always times you can talk to a real person.  Five days a week, Monday to Friday, 10 to 3, starting later in April once we are fully staffed again.

That uses up 25 hours per week, but our RC budget permits more.

So now we have 'open' hours each week to reassign.  As suggested at our AGM last June and in conjunction with some of our Board members, we will now use those hours to implement special projects on an ongoing and changing schedule.

Workshops, songwriting sessions, tax lessons, touring instructions... or even just plain old get-togethers and/or jams.  They might be at the RC or they might be offsite.  They will happen sometimes at night, sometimes on a Saturday or Sunday, depending on who is presenting and/or who is attending.  But all that is a bit in the future.

We will soon post a listing of our staff as their individual skill sets best apply to your needs.  For instance, you want to see who of our Career Advisors is best suited to help you with things like:
