Marg and Don White

Hall of Fame

Marg and Don White love sports no matter the season. Their outstanding contributions to Athletics, Cross Country and Curling are proof.

They are exceptional volunteers, giving countless hours to organize, coach and officiate. Keen to see all members of the sporting community engaged, they’ve opened their home to many needing a home base in the territory.

Mainstays of the Yukon running scene since 1986, Don is NCCP Level III Coaching certified and has coached at the local and national levels for both youth and senior athletes. A true role model, Don is a National Level Master’s Runner — sure to boost his skill and credibility as a coach. He’s also coached several Arctic Winter Games snowshoeing teams and volunteers with the Canadian Ski Patrol.

Marg has been timing running events for over three decades, from early spring through to the Klondike Road Relay in September. Her unparalleled encouragement throughout and smile at the end of a race is a cherished site for many Yukon runners. When not on the road, Marg can be found embracing the cold indoors. She has her NCCP Level IV Officiating certification and is now the Yukon Curling Association’s Head Official. She volunteers at the high-profile Scott Tournament of Hearts and officiates at the National Level. We value all of Marg’s contributions including all the time she has devoted to the Sport Yukon Board of Directors, and major games including the Arctic Winter Games and the Canada Winter Games.
