Here’s to Faro!
As 1st Vice President of the Association of Yukon Communities I get to see communities that I wouldn’t otherwise have the privilege of visiting so often. Last night I was in Faro to address their council on AYC strategic planning issues. Lindsay Agar, AYC Training Coordinator was there as well.

What a great town Faro is! On the drive back to Dawson today, as the endless and beautiful panorama of fall colours unfolded in front of me I couldn’t help but reflect on how lucky we are to be living in a Yukon made up of communities like Faro. Long time Faroites have weathered many a rough storm and next to them new people are now standing in solidarity, advancing what’s best for their town. At the moment, they are struggling with the demise of their only service station. Hopefully the private sector will find it an attractive opportunity and will open a gas station soon. Failing that, there seems to be an appetite on council’s part to open a card lock system to alleviate the situation.
Whatever happens, I do believe Faro deserves the best. And… I get to return this Friday for an AYC Executive and Board meeting!

We moved to Faro last winter and are in love with the community. We have spent time in the NWT, Nunavut and now the Yukon. Faro is the best of all worlds and it is the perfect place to start a family (and buy a huge house for very little money!).
