Day 1 of the Yukon Association of Education Professionals Biennial Conference is a wrap!Today we had the opportunity to support approximately 1,000 educators from across the Yukon, with our Gúnta team providing technical production and hybrid AV support across four locations at Porter Creek Secondary School and Jack Hulland Elementary School.

It’s a big production with a lot of moving pieces happening across two schools, and we’re incredibly proud of our technicians for keeping everything running smoothly throughout the day. A big thank you to the YAEP organizers for trusting Gúnta Business to support such an important gathering for Yukon educators. We’re grateful to be part of it. One day down and one more to go. Looking forward to Day 2 tomorrow!

🚨DRUM ROLL PLEASE! 🎉

We are announcing another speaker spotlight for the 2026 Health Summit. We want to introduce you to Asha and Steph with CollectiveCare.

Asha Irish, RMT, NHPC member, and patient advocate, is the co-founder of CollectiveCare, a patient-controlled health information platform based in Whitehorse, Yukon. Her perspective comes from both sides of healthcare - more than 30 years navigating chronic migraines as a patient, and years in clinical practice watching patients repeat, and lose pieces of, their story every time they moved between providers. With her co-founder and dear friend Steph Jackson, together they’re building CollectiveCare to put that continuity back into patients' hands.

Steph Jackson is a functional nutrition practitioner, health educator and co-founder of CollectiveCare. Her own experience with significant chronic health challenges led her into functional nutrition and individualized health support, while her clinical work has focused on complex cases spanning multiple practitioners, tests and treatment plans. She brings expertise in functional health, practitioner education and complex-case thinking to the development of CollectiveCare

🎙️ Episode 7 of the Arctic Indigenous Investment Series is now available.

What does it take to build an Indigenous technology company in the Yukon—and develop systems capable of operating on remote northern hillsides?

YFNCC President and AIIS host Blair Hogan sits down with John Jensen, Founder and CEO of ALPHA-EL Inc., and Chief Operating Officer Keith Jacobson for a wide-ranging conversation about Indigenous entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, remote monitoring and northern innovation.

John, a member of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, shares how his experience in community infrastructure, internet technology, renewable energy and microgrids helped shape ALPHA-EL. He also speaks candidly about the persistence required to take an idea through years of development:

“We had our moments where it was tough, and we had our moments of moving forward, backwards, forward again.”

The conversation explores ALPHA-EL’s AI-powered wildlife-monitoring technology, the importance of turning field observations into useful information, and potential applications involving Indigenous land guardians, wildfire monitoring and Arctic sovereignty.

John and Keith also discuss building a strong team, raising outside capital and preparing the company for its next stage of growth. The episode closes with a broader conversation about geothermal, biomass, district heating and the Yukon’s energy future.

YFNCC is proud to present these conversations about Indigenous ownership, enterprise and northern opportunity. Thank you to Gúnta Business Consulting and its Gúnta Studio for its continued production partnership on the series.

What happens to LOCAL ENERGY costs when oil prices rise?

Wood energy is still affected by fossil-fuel costs through harvesting and transportation, but only part of its delivered cost is directly exposed to those price changes. That distinction matters when Yukon communities are thinking about ENERGY SECURITY, COST STABILITY and greater use of LOCAL RESOURCES.

At the 2026 Yukon Forestry Conference, we’ll explore questions like these and look at the practical role biomass and local energy could play in building a more resilient Yukon.
