Yukon Housing Corporation Seeks Marketing Strategy Development 

Yukon Housing Corporation requires a marketing strategy that reflects government priorities and the strategic direction of Yukon Housing Corporation to create diverse housing solutions that contribute to health, vibrant, sustainable, inclusive communities. Deliverables include templates for printed and online materials as well as approaches that will effectively increase awareness and uptake of YHC programs.
