VIRTUAL WALK INVITATION!

Do you love to walk but joining us on the official One Step, One Day, Yukon Healing Journey is impossible for you?

No problem.

We're collecting virtual kms from walkers from all across the Yukon and around the world.

Simply walk 5 kms or 10 kms (as often as you like) and let us know so we can track you 'donation' of kms.

The Top of the World Highway is a teeny bit hairy for walkers so we'd like to cover those 472 kms with your VIRTUAL participation. Let us know when you walk and we'll keep track.

We've created the hashtag and we're hoping you'll post on your social media and tag us here and use the hashtag too. We'd love to see photos or feel free to steal this image.

We are aware of statements made online that data was allegedly copied from the FCL IT environment and will allegedly be released. While it's possible these allegations are related to the cybersecurity incident we previously experienced, we are still investigating with assistance from third-party experts. If the investigation determines that data was in fact compromised, as previously stated, we will take appropriate action.

It's important to note that while this incident has been contained, upon first discovering that we had experienced a cybersecurity incident, we temporarily took a number of our systems offline as a precaution. As we continue forward with resuming normal operations, we're working towards bringing all systems back online safely. We once again want to thank Co-op members, customers and the public for their patience and understanding.

We want to thank our customers for your patience and understanding. We appreciate your support now more than ever, and we will continue to keep you updated.

Yukon air tankers are responding to OT-004, a wildfire 5 kilometres south of Alaska Highway KM 1156. This fire is located in British Columbia where the Alaska Highway enters BC between Swift River and Teslin, so you can also find it numbered R90740 on the BC Wildfire Service public map.

There is no threat to the Alaska Highway, but smoke from the fire and firefighting aircraft will be visible in the area this afternoon.

Look up the locations of all wildfires, as well as a smoke map, on the Wildfire Hub: https://wildfires.service.yukon.ca
