This position will be based at YukonU\'s Ayamdigut campus in Whitehorse. Built on the traditional territory of the Ta\'an Kw\xc3\xa4ch\xc3\xa4n and Kwanlin D\xc3\xbcn First Nations, Whitehorse is known as the Wilderness City-and it\'s easy to see why. Nurtured by the Yukon River, Whitehorse is surrounded by hike-able mountains and pristine lakes and streams, with a trail system you could spend a lifetime exploring. Whitehorse\'s climate is, on average, milder than comparable northern communities, and with up to nineteen hours of daylight in summer, you have all the time you need to follow your passion for being on the land. With its healthy economy, small-town values, and safe environment, Whitehorse is a great place to raise a family, especially if you enjoy an active lifestyle. Several local schools offer French immersion and experiential educational opportunities, and the city is home to a vibrant arts community, great caf\xc3\xa9s and eateries, and excellent recreation centres.Whitehorse is also within driving distance of the Kluane, Tatshenshini-Alsek, and Chilkoot Trail regions. Longer trips to historic Dawson City, the Wrangell Mountains of Alaska, and BC\'s Northern Rockies are possible. The rest of the world is a short flight away, with daily connections to travel hubs in southern Canada.Quoting the employment opportunity number, please send your cover letter and resume to: Human Resource Services
