GWEN is a seven-month-old mixed breed female. ‘Hi, I’m Gwen! The Mae Bachur Animal Shelter’s best guess at my breed would be some kind of husky-mix. I’m a very high-energy, active girl! I will need a home that’s able to keep me active and provide me with mental stimulation too. At the shelter, I am pretty worked-up and overwhelmed with everything going on. I should be a lot better in a home! I just haven’t been given stability, and need a home to teach me that. With proper training, I would be a great outdoor companion for adventures.’ See Gwen at the shelter today! (Vince Fedoroff / The Yukon Star)

While The Yukon Star suspended publishing operations on August 23rd, readers can still access the online content created by its inspired team during the three months of operation. Paid subscribers can continue to login and access the print edition content for the foreseeable future.
The daily online and weekly print newspaper was launched in May following the closure of the Whitehorse Star. The last day of publication was Friday August 23rd.
Publisher Max Fraser said the decision was regrettable, but unavoidable: “We reached a point where, without sufficient revenues and working capital, we could not continue to operate. While the long-term outlook was promising, the short-term need for revenue was just not being met. Efforts to secure additional finance from the community produced results that were not sufficient. We thank everyone who supported the venture. We got great feedback about the print and online editions and the daily newsletter. As investors our intention was to have a strong new voice in the Yukon media, focussed on local news.”
Though the office has closed, the business will continue to operate and can be contacted at publisher@theyukonstar.com.
