is making a perfect career shift. I have decided not to continue marketing Yukon Pride Adventure Tours; there are a variety of reasons for this but the bottom line is at this stage of my working life I need to invest more in work that brings me joy and can make more of a difference.

It is for this reason that I am seizing the opportunity to be the Executive Director at the Whitehorse food bank. It is a position that I can use many of my existing skills and develop some new ones. I start work there on June 7th.

One of the things that helped me pay for Yukon Pride ventures has been selling travel, as a travel agent. I will still continue to do this as a part time venture. I will focus on the more complicated specialty travel products, the vacations that are planned in advance. I will be setting up regular hours for that early next week. Yukon pride is carrying some debt and that is how I will pay that down, so whatever I decide to do with my company in the future can be done with a good name.

I am also going to streamline some of my other volunteer activities so that with this I can spend time with my family and continue on my fitness regime.

So wish me luck in my new endeavor, I am really looking forward to working on such an important thing as the Whitehorse Food Bank.
