Would you want to live in a town where temperatures can drop to -76˚Fahrenheit? Most people wouldn’t. That means those who stay are there because they want to be.
My guest today is one of those people willing to brave the cold… and she’s living the DREAM.THINK.DO life do amid the frigid temps!
Alessia Guthrie moved to Whitehorse, Yukon, the largest city in northern Canada (population 28,000), and acted on her incredible spirit for service! She inspired a team of people to work together to create a maker space called “YuKonstruct,” where community members can go to gain access to high quality and innovative tools to exercise their creativity.
