Biographical history
The Yukon Guild of Needlearts (YGN) is mandated to encourage and promote the practice and knowledge of the various needleart forms. The group was incorporated in 1983, largely through the efforts of Carolyn Mitchell who became its first president. YGN is a member of the Embroiderers' Association of Canada which has 46 chapters, and nearly 2,500 members worldwide. YGN created several commemorative projects, including a quilt to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Opening of the Alaska Highway in 1992, and another to commemorate the creation of Canada's new territory, Nunavut, in 1999.
