The Yukon Historical & Museums Association (YHMA) was established in 1977 by a group of concerned and passionate individuals wishing to create a united voice that could lend its hand to museums and historical societies around the Yukon. YHMA was designed to be a place for information exchange and as a united body that could speak for Yukon heritage when needed. The objectives of the association are to promote an appreciation of Yukon’s history and culture; to support the efforts of individuals and groups which are interested in preserving and furthering the knowledge of Yukon’s history and culture; to advance the education of Yukoners in matters pertaining to their history, culture and heritage and, pursuant to this, to improve, wherever possible, the levels of training of persons who work in settings with which this Society is concerned; to advocate on behalf of Yukon museums and historical societies and assist them in the realization of their goals and objectives.

Our current projects include a comprehensive community initiative in South Haney, Maple Ridge, B.C., based on the "building community from within" approach. We plan to implement a unique mentoring system called a Block College. In the food security realm, we operate two community gardens and promote organic gardening through workshops and pesticide alternatives education. We are also the proud stewards of a heritage building in Maple Ridge, helping to maintain the legacy of the Japanese Canadian homesteading pioneers. To connect all these endeavors, we are an action group of the local transition town initiative, Golden Ears Transition Initiative (GETI), which will help to build resilience in the community to the environmental, social and economic challenges and opportunities likely to shape our future.
