The name is a play on words given that women are essential. At the Association franco-yukonnaise, the cultural committee in fact organizes or oversees the activities. It does not always organize them, but it does overall coordination. In March, there were more than 16 cultural celebrations, including an informal talent night. Young people, both anglophones and francophones, went on stage to show off their talents, while the audience enjoyed a dinner among family and friends. Over 150 people attended the event. In the Yukon, that amounts to 10% of the population.
