From: Martin Jasek <mjjasek@yknet.yk.ca> Date: Thu, 08 Jun 2000 10:21:36 -0600 Fwd Date: Fri, 09 Jun 2000 07:08:02 -0400 Subject: [canufo] Yukon UFO Conference Dear Colleagues Some of you may had heard rumors or found out in a round about way about plans that a UFO related event was in the planning stages up in Whitehorse, Yukon Canada. My apologies for not providing details sooner. The event is linked to a Yukon Government Grant and I was under their instruction to hold off until an official news release was done by the Yukon Government. A Yukon Government election in April delayed the press release by another 2 months. However, it was worth the wait as I value the support and the free advertising that they can provide. The Yukon Government news release occurs today (June 8, 2000). Now on with the news at hand.... I am pleased that the Yukon Government accepted the application and will fund in the amount of ($17,000+) a UFO Conference to be held in Whitehorse, Canada on October 14, 2000! Featured speaker is Stanton Friedman! A workshop will follow on October 16 that will attempt to engage governments and the scientific community to discuss the UFO issue. The two day event is being funded under the Yukon Millennium Fund and is one of several dozen other projects being funded. I encourage other UFO groups to seek the possibility of such funding in their own Provinces.

Benefit to the Yukon Community As the end of the last millennium approached, Yukoners witnessed an increase in UFO activity. Recognized experts in this field believe that one of the greatest stories of the new millennium is related to the determination of what the UFO phenomenon really is. Unfortunately, there is fear of ridicule or unwanted publicity that prevents progress in this endeavor. It is therefore the aim of this Conference and Workshop to promote lines of communications between the Yukon People, the Yukon scientific community and various government departments with regards to the UFO topic. (A report "Giant UFO in the Yukon Territory" is being distributed to promote official interest - 31 witnesses!) - For further information please contact Martin Jasek at (867)633-2472, or mjjasek@yknet.yk.ca - Detailed information about the Conference & Speakers: www.ufobc.org/yukon/conference - Information on Yukon UFO Sightings can be found at: www.ufobc.org/yukon
