 Neil Loveless
-Neil Loveless is a Yukon placer miner in the Sixtymile mining district. In 2025, he and another miner approached the Robert Service K-12 school in Dawson to donate money to support the school’s nutrition program. Unique to the Yukon, Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in (TH) and Yukon government co-govern the Dawson school. The Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in education director, Jody Beaumont, told them that the program was not running in 2025/26 as Indigenous Services Canada introduced new rules for the Jordan’s Principle funding program.((Talar Stockton, “Klondike placer miners donate $500,000 for school food program.” //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 20 October 2025.))
+Neil Loveless spent his youth going to school and playing sports in Vancouver during the winters and moving to the  family mine in the Yukon for the summers.

 Loveless, president of the Klondike Placer Miners’ Association (KPMA), contacted some area other miners who had indicated some desire to give back to the community after a good mining season with higher gold prices. Together they donated $500,00 to support TH in providing the nutrition program. Many of the miners have children attending the school. KPMA is playing a part in organizing the donations.((Talar Stockton, “Klondike placer miners donate $500,000 for school food program.” //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 20 October 2025.))
