I have just left the venue titled "Canada' s Northern House" which has been set up as part of the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. I went to see what spectacular things were on display from the Yukon. What was glaringly obvious was the spectacular lack of anything from the Yukon. Apparently something is coming on Feb 12th but there isn't even a word about the Yukon in any of the printed material on the walls. I am all for keeping the Yukon a well kept secret but I am surprised by our absence here. Or is this our Territorial comment on this grotesquely expensive sporting event?

So what IS at Canada's Northern House? I am hearing that Nunavut and NWT have lots of amazing images etc but nothing from Yukon - is that correct?

Correct. There is a very nice display of artefacts, artwork, photos from the other two but zip from us. I was told that dancers or performers from the Yukon (read: Whitehorse) were coming down on the 12th.
