The Yukon's Golden Girls had it's beginnings in June 2004, when I wanted to work with the local senior ladies to provide some unique entertainment for the Canada Senior Games which were held in Whitehorse, Yukon in September 2004.
Thanks to Yukon entertainer Hank Karr, I've had the pleasure of working with 11 very charming ladies ranging in age from 60 to 82 year young.

This is their first official photo taken at the dress rehearsal for family and friends.

Dance was finished so now came the costume! Can Can Skirts were rented, fishnets and gloves bought, feather head pieces made, they had stage makeup lessons which included false eyelashes, then they were turned loose on an unsuspecting public.

The first dance was titled "Razzle Dazzle" from Chicago and the ladies became an instant hit.

In October of 2004 we started on the second dance appropriately titled "If my friends could see me now".

Their success has continued an a year later they are being asked to perform at conventions and events around  Whitehorse.

In January 2005 the ladies decided they wanted to make their own skirts rather than having to rent them for each performance. So with the help of Myrna (seamstress of the Can Can Cancers) they are in the process of making their own skirts.

The Yukon's Golden Girls would like to thank their sponsors:

ELDERACTIVE RECREATION ASSOCIATION

along with:

ELKS LODGE for the use of their facility as a practice site and

LAKE LABERGE LIONS CLUB for their financial sponsorship.

Keep a watchful eye out for the ladies performing as you never know when or where they might show up and strut their stuff.
