We were happy to be in Dawson City for the Career & Entrepreneurship Fair this week!

Vladimir was at the Yukon Learn table connecting with community members, talking about the training and learning opportunities we offer, and hearing about the skills people are looking to build for work, education and everyday life.

Events like this are a great opportunity to connect with people face to face and learn more about what communities need. Thanks to Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in for bringing everyone together, and to everyone who stopped by to say hello!

We’re always happy to connect with Dawson and the surrounding communities.

Congratulations to our Yukon Learn 2026 Learner and Volunteer of the Year award winners.

Ali Hassan Adam Issa - Learner of the Year Winner.
When Ali Hassan Adam Issa first came to Yukon Learn Society as a refugee, he had very limited English language skills and faced the challenge of adapting to life in a new country. Despite these obstacles, Ali approached learning with determination, courage, and an unwavering commitment to improving his English language skills.

Through consistent effort and perseverance, Ali has made remarkable progress in English. He attends tutoring sessions and ESL classes with enthusiasm and actively seeks opportunities to practice and strengthen his language skills.

Ali’s dedication has helped him secure full-time employment in the construction industry, which is why he is unable to join us today. This accomplishment reflects his strong work ethic, resilience, and commitment to building a new life in Canada.

Ali’s perseverance and positive attitude have been an inspiration to those around him. His journey reflects the power of lifelong learning and the impact that dedication and hard work can have in overcoming challenges. Ali is an outstanding example of resilience, growth, and commitment to building a brighter future.

Judy Harwood Dabbs - Volunteer of the Year Winner.
Judy Harwood Dabbs has made an incredible impact as a volunteer English as a Second Language tutor, going above and beyond to support her learners. Since joining Yukon Learn, she has dedicated countless hours to helping newcomers improve their English, build confidence, and feel at home in the Yukon.

Judy's support doesn't stop when the lesson ends. She has helped learners navigate life in Canada, connected them with community resources, and been a constant source of encouragement along the way. Thanks to her dedication, her learners have achieved excellent results on their CELPIP exams, creating new opportunities for work, education, and permanent residency.

Judy's kindness and commitment have not gone unnoticed. She was also the runner-up for the City of Whitehorse's Volunteer of the Year Award, recognizing the difference she makes in our community.

We are incredibly grateful for everything she does and are proud to recognize Judy for her outstanding commitment to lifelong learning, community, and volunteerism in Whitehorse.
