Thank you, Junko!

Junko Yokura

We want to thank Junko Yokura for her service at the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies! Over the past 18 years, Junko was an important part of our museum shop and visitor services operations. Her contributions included merchandising the shop, serving visitors, and behind the scenes, she helped significantly with product selection and purchasing. Her many years of experience in the retail sector in conjunction with her consumer knowledge gave her a keen eye for finding products that sold which in turn, contributed greatly to the success of our museum shop operations.

Junko is a longtime resident of Banff, and she is looking forward to spending more time with her family at home and abroad.

We wish her well in her new chapter in life with her long-time husband Kohei, three daughters, and granddaughter. We also look forward to seeing her around town or out on the tennis courts during the summer months.

Thank you again for all your hard work and service!
