Over the years I have always been impressed to learn of Yukoners who, by virtue of their ingenuity or prowess, have been sought out by organizations from all over the world to assist them with their challenges and solve their problems.
The list of Yukoners who have achieved this notable accomplishment is impressive, supplying everything from professional services to culinary products to scientific expertise. You name it and Yukoners have done it throughout the world and indeed beyond!
The latest person to join the ranks of accomplished Yukoners was Ray Chaykowsky (Marsh Lake Tent & Events/Total Trac) who was called to go to Indianapolis, Indiana, to set up a very large tent.
He got the job, as I understand, because of his experience and reputation for erecting these large structures under adverse weather conditions.
Congratulations, Ray (and your Yukon team), for a job well done and for joining the ranks of your esteemed Yukon colleagues who have been similarly honoured.
