She applied to be part of the EPS, and then went through the provincial police college. Acting EPS Chief Warren Morrical said Ruthven likely had the strangest police college experience out of anyone he knows, thanks to the modified duration. “They truncated it a month prior to the normal schedule,” said Morrical. “They had a whole bunch of stuff they had to get done in a short period of time.” Students in the college had to approach it like a bubble, with classmates, several instructors and others coming together in a small unit. With less time at police college, there’s a greater onus on field training for Ruthven. Const. Michelle Beaulieu will be responsible for the field training.

Elementary school teacher Michelle Beaulieu has routinely used the outdoors as place for learning during her 21 years teaching in Yukon.
But the pandemic put an end to some of the traditional activities like river trips and hiking.
So Beaulieu said she s been looking for alternatives to help her grade 7 students at Golden Horn Elementary School learn about things like leadership skills, team building and work ethic.
