Junction Arts & Music Proudly

JAM has not always been JAM. Junction Arts & Music Society owes its existence to the Haines Junction Campus Committee which donated $10,000 from their discretionary funds as seed money to start up the non-profit organization, Society for Education & Culture, in May of 1999. The visionaries and incorporators of the Society were: Todd Chambers, Elaine Hurlburt, Patty Moore, Hans Nelles, Steve Osborne, and Darlene Sillery. Over the years, many volunteer Board Members working with an Executive Director have brought us to the point we are now. In 2008, the name of the society changed to Junction Arts & Music (JAM) to better reflect our current activities. A new vision, mandate and five-year strategic plan were also developed, along with our logo. Our mandate guides many Board-driven initiatives, from large-scale projects such as the sound system upgrade and acoustic improvements of the St. Elias Centre's Grand Hall, to more grassroots projects like the Cookin' with Jamberries cookbook. Initiatives such as these make JAM a dynamic presence in the community.
