IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT OUR GIFT CARD PROGRAM

Subject: Transitioning to a Territory-Wide Community-Focused Gift Card Program

Dear Members and Stakeholders,

In response to the economic challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Yukon Chamber of Commerce introduced a gift card initiative aimed at stimulating local spending. While the program has been a valuable learning experience, our comprehensive review has identified several critical limitations:

Financial Sustainability: The current model is not self-sustaining and places an undue financial burden on our members.
Economic Leakage: All proceeds from fees and commissions flow outside the Yukon, offering no retained economic benefits for the territory.
Limited Reach: After years of operations, the program is still unable to effectively serve communities beyond Whitehorse, restricting its impact.

Given these challenges, the Yukon Chamber has determined that continuing the program in its current form is not viable.

Looking ahead, we are excited to announce plans for a new, inclusive gift card model designed to be launched in early 2025. This initiative will:

Support businesses in all Yukon communities.
Operate sustainably, ensuring long-term benefits for stakeholders.
Maximize local economic retention and minimize leakage.

The Yukon Chamber of Commerce remains committed to advocating for and supporting businesses that drive Yukon's economic growth.

Thank you for your continued support as we work to create impactful solutions for the Yukon business community.
