 Jane and a group of friends, including Judy Dabbs and Val Loewen, set up a booth at the Whitehorse farmers’ market in the Jim Light Arena in June 1989. They collected aluminium cans and paid a penny for each. Janne and Anne Taylor stood behind that first collection table and they led a community environmental effort that changed the Yukon. The group covered the cost from their own pockets and then sold the cans to metal recycler Joe McInroy for the same price.  After the concept was proven, the Whitehorse Chamber of Commerce added another cent to the refund. Word spread and soon people were bringing bags of cans to the three-hour weekend collections. The goal of the group was not clean ditches but to showcase social responsibility where employees could earn a decent living and community members could overcome barriers to employment or stability.((Ben Charland, “From Pennies to Purpose: 35 years of Raven.” //Whats Up Yukon,// 30 April 2025.)) Jane and a group of friends, including Judy Dabbs and Val Loewen, set up a booth at the Whitehorse farmers’ market in the Jim Light Arena in June 1989.
