We can see three ships in the sea. Some ships are going, some are coming. The water is calm and made golden by the fiery golden-and-orange sunset. Or is it sunrise? The person wears homespun clothes of good quality. On their head is a simple ornament, not quite a crown. Three tall wands stand securely around the person. Arm outstretched, they hold one wand as they watch the purple mountains on the distant horizon. The key colours in the card are gold, red-orange and green. There is healthy vegetation on the hill.

Advice:

I smiled when this card appeared in our reading about supporting our fathers. Three of Wands is about looking ahead and investing in your dreams while appreciating the present moment, which sounds a lot like advice my dad gives me all the time.

We help make our fathers feel secure by looking ahead, taking the long view. By working to make our dreams a reality, we support our dads too. Our fathers are happy when we pursue our dreams from a grounded and supported place. The card advises finding a balance between risk and stillness. Patiently and steadily invest in your dreams.

Three of Wands is in the suit of Fire, and fire energy can bring us the power to manifest our desires. There are passion projects on those sailing ships! The dreams they carry will expand your horizon and creative powers.

Being fiery can also cause burnout. Having patience in yourself and your progress is advised here. A slow burn, as opposed to a bonfire! The person in this card is steady, meditative, grounded and hopeful. Keeping efforts steady, more like the turtle than the rabbit, is advised.

Three of Wands tells us our fathers want us to live our dreams and take strong actions towards success, with planning and sound investment. This is not a card about gambling; it’s about a slower kind of earning, with a muchgreater payoff.

We can also support our dads by placing their lives and well-being into our long-term plans and goals. Listen to your dad’s longterm goals and help them realize these goals, if at all possible. Be creative about how you can supILLUSTRATION: Aimée Dawn Robinson

Victoria Gold Congratulates Pelly Construction on 35 Years

On February 13, 1987, one of the Yukon’s most beloved and philanthropic companies – Pelly Construction Ltd. – was incorporated and has grown over the past 35 years from its beginnings in the basement of owners’ Keith and Gwen Byram’s home in Riverdale to achieve success both locally and on the global stage. Norm Kelly, now retired, was an early partner, and today Jess Jewel and Jennifer Byram, Keith and Gwen’s youngest daughter, are proud partners. “Working for Victoria Gold on the development of the Eagle Gold Mine really helped the company mature,” says Jennifer Byram, Pelly’s Vice President. “It sophisticated our mine development and construction skills and allowed us to increase our support for our local workforce and our valued partnerships with Yukon First Nations. We really appreciate all that Victoria does for our community and the company’s commitment to Yukoners and local businesses.” Known locally for its generosity and philosophy of giving, Pelly was a founding sponsor of the Yukon Hospital Foundation and supports numerous Yukon events and initiatives, including, but not limited to: long-standing support for the Victoria Gold Yukon Student Encouragement Society’s Every Student, Every Day initiative to help increase student attendance in the territory; Mount Sima Ski Hill; the Yukon T1D Support Network; Special Olympics Yukon; and, many youth sporting organizations. “On behalf of the entire team at Victoria Gold, I extend my sincere congratulations to Pelly Construction on this signifi cant milestone and we thank them for their work and their support for the community, including Every Student, Every Day since its inception,” says Victoria Gold President & CEO John McConnell. “It was a pleasure working with the Pelly crew on the development of the Eagle Gold Mine and I wish the company every success for the next 35 years.”

The Eagle Gold Mine is situated within Victoria Gold’s 100 per cent-owned Dublin Gulch Property located approximately 375 kilometres north of Whitehorse and 85 kilometres north, northeast of the Village of Mayo, within the traditional territory of the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyak Dun (FNNND). The company employs over 500 workers and contractors; half of which are Yukoners At Work and many are FNNND citizens. If you are a Yukoner with mining experience, Victoria Gold encourages you to become a Yukoner At Work.
