The Carmacks Community Housing Study was a pilot project conducted by Yukon Housing in partnership with the Northern Research Institute to assess local housing needs and support program planning. The survey, conducted in 1998, collected data from nearly all dwellings in Carmacks, including technical inspections of a sample of homes. This report summarizes the deliberations of the community-based Housing Team and presents findings to inform housing improvements in Carmacks and other Yukon communities.

"This begins what we hope will be long series of chapbooks celebrating the fine and ancient art of storytelling, through the stories and great storytellers from around the circumpolar world. The series begins with a tribute to Mrs. Angela Sidney, the incomparable grand storyteller of the Yukon. Mrs. Sidney was truly an inspiration for our organization. The first Yukon International Story­telling Festival was inspired when our co-founders contemplated the deep irony of a journey Mrs. Sidney had made to the Toronto Story­telling Festival - the irony of this grand storyteller flying across the continent to tell stories, while essentially unheard at home. Out of that moment came a single question: why couldn't we hold such a festival right here in the midst of our own storytellers? And when mention of holding such a festival in Whitehorse reached Mrs. Sidney's ears, she declared immediately that it should be done." -- from Introduction.
