🏒✨ Community, Sports & Art ! ✨🏒
We’re sending our best wishes to .kaytor & The Vixens as they gear up for the Yukon Native Hockey Tournament () in just a week!

At , we take pride in supporting local athletics and arts initiatives through lodging and sponsorships—this one is especially close to our hearts. Selena’s incredible ability to bring people together and foster community embodies everything we stand for.

We also want to showcase this breathtaking piece of art— a beaded hockey jersey handcrafted by her talented sister, Jasmine Kaytor / Spitfire Creations () Now framed in our office, it’s a meaningful tribute to our friendship and shared values.

Selena & The Vixens, we’re cheering you on! 🎉🏒💙

"The data suggest that STRs are not a pivotal factor on the long-term rental market. Discouraging them also risks undermining confidence in the desire to invest in new supply. STRs need to be examined in a much broader economic context." - CMHC Deputy Chief Economist

"The role of STRs in Canada’s housing challenges remains a subject of ongoing policy debate in many Canadian cities. STR activity is increasingly significant in the Canadian accommodation services subsector. However, in the housing market, STRs still account for a small proportion of total housing units." - Statistics Canada

In the City of Whitehorse, potential long-term rental dwellings on Airbnb are estimated to be fewer than 50 in total, or less than 0.3% of all homes.
