YHMA, in partnership with the Yukon First Nations Culture and Tourism
Association (YFNCT), has engaged the firm Nordicity to conduct a
strategic digital needs assessment of Yukon museums and cultural
centres, responding to the opportunity for digital transformation in
Yukon’s heritage sector. While digital innovation has long presented
opportunities for heritage organizations, the COVID-19 pandemic has
accelerated this trend as physical gathering continues to be limited
into the foreseeable future.</p>

project will create benefits across the entire heritage sector as well
as the broader community of interested heritage participants and
traditional knowledge bearers. In addition, cross-sectoral collaboration
could generate spillover benefits for sectors such as the arts and
culture, education, and tourism.</p>

provide an opportunity to build a strong, more cohesive heritage sector
while exploring opportunities to use digital tools to share the history
of Yukon and its First Nations more widely.</p>
