Dr. Coyote delivered a beautiful key address to graduates, their families, faculty, staff and dignitaries in attendance. "To all graduates - I'm so proud of you," they shared, "I want to congratulate you on completing this step towards your stupidly big small-town kid dreams! I hope that you meet and exceed all of the dreams for your life that you are holding in your hearts and in your hands today."![]()

Dr. Coyote is a master storyteller and proud third-generation Yukoner, who was born and raised in a large Irish Catholic family in Whitehorse. They learned the craft of storytelling on long, northern winter nights gathered around their grandmother’s kitchen table. Ivan has created a window to the North and through this window they have shared Whitehorse and the Yukon with the rest of Canada and the world. ![]()
