Public art is an important part of a vibrant community!

This beautiful community lead art gallery brings joy and wonder and inspiration. It’s set up in a way that has minimal impact on the natural setting. We have lots of trails with just trees. Only here do we get to have the joy and fun of participating in a gallery that’s accessible to all. Policies should have the flexibility to accommodate their own intentions rather that rules for the sake of rules It’s also in keeping with the Hillcrest community plan, reflecting the wishes and direction of the residents at large.

I visited this bush gallery last time we went to Whitehorse and found it a very pleasant experience . I hope it stays for the enjoyment of others who wander along there. There maybe 1 or 2 who complain but nowhere near the amount of people who enjoy it and revisit to look for new additions to the gallery. Truely hoping it will be there when we visit this Christmas. Thanks

This is a small intrusion into the natural environment and the joy that it brings to the community is more than welcome, it is needed. If some parameters need to be established to authorize this, such as minimizing damage to the forest and some constraints on how far it can extend into the greenspace, I think most could agree to that.

I think public art is important and this lovely outdoor gallery should be allowed to stay.

Combining a bit of Nature with some wonderful Art should be considered a win-win in Whitehorse, The Wilderness City!

The Yukon is a place where we love to appreciate nature AND art! Things like the Dalton Trail gallery are what make any place special, it's an absolute joy to take in, and with it's removal would be one step closer to that boring, regulated, loveless city of southern Canada.

Please, do not remove the Dalton art trail. This public space activation is a beautiful reflection of Whitehorse’s creative community, which is the heartbeat of the city. The trail is a perfect example of placemaking done correctly, and to remove it would be a great disservice to both residents and visitors.

This trail is artwork at its best. I have taken my niece to this when she ws small and the wonder and joy that came to her face each turn of the bend brought much amazement to her face. It was pure joy for me to witness her reaction to the artwork! This trail is a hidden treasure that is not so hidden. But it makes the experience more magical and awe inspiring that this is in my own backyard, so to speak.

The Dalton Trail Gallery has served and is still serving many citizens including residents and students. Public art/community art such as the gallery makes art accessible to everyone and contribute to a sense of place. The City Sustainability Plan values ar. It states'' Rich and diverse visual arts, built heritage, cultural landscapes, and community activities. Diverse and inclusive culture and heritage encourages a rich community life that is constantly changing. A strong arts community increases civic pride and quality of life, and attracts new residents, businesses, and visitors to Whitehorse.'' It should be understood and implemented implemented by all City offices. We should also consider process away from issuing such notice based on one complaints, in particular when we have policies and strategy that encourages diverse art practices. Please support the accessible Dalton Trail Gallery.

Strange and weird art exhibit’s are one of the small but powerful ways to build community. It should be encouraged, and every effort should be made by the city to work with the artists, not in opposition to them. (Granted, strife ALSO builds community, but in a much less constructive way)
