2006/07 YLS Board of Directors

President

Carol Buchan

After a very active life in small town Saskatchewan - raising four sons, running a hardware store with my late husband, town council member, hospital board, kinette club - I hearkened to the "Call of the Yukon" and moved here in 1992.  A passion for reading , along with encouragement from Mimi Stehelin, led me to Yukon Learn Society.  It has been time well spent when I see the many people who have benefited from the services we provide.
