VISION STATEMENT (dream/aspiration)

MISSION STATEMENT (mandate/purpose)
To host a marathon-paddling race on the Yukon River, providing an opportunity for personal challenge and accomplishment, in a unique, Northern wilderness setting.

VALUES (state of being)
The YRMPA has been in operation since 1998. We are made up of a solid volunteer base of people who are passionate about marathon paddling and hosting the longest annual marathon-paddling race, the Yukon River Quest.

We are:
• Adventurous, forward-looking and pro-active

We will:
Strive to instil trust with our stakeholders and within our community – by this we mean:

• We will do what we say we can do and what our community expects us to do
• Our actions will be predicable and un-wavering – our community counts on us to behave in a predictable manner
• We will act fairly, honestly and ethically; we will practice diplomacy
• We will act in a sustainable manner by building, managing and protecting our resources (Yukon River, time, money, locations, people, influence, etc.) to ensure we adequately address the needs of our stakeholders and our organization (environmental, economic, and social).

We value:

• Environmental stewardship
• Indigenous culture
• Yukon River history
• Youth engagement
• Camaraderie and community
• Physical and mental wellness
• Accomplishment and hard work
