Ed Isaac
Ed Isaac was born in Drake, Saskatchewan and was raised on a farm in Langley, British Columbia. He came to the Yukon in 1963 and met his future wife Donna Everson. They were married in December of that year. Isaac was a musician with the Canucks at the Rainbow Room in the Whitehorse Inn. The Canucks and their families toured for several years. In 1968, Ed and Donna returned to Whitehorse to raise their daughter Tammy, and sons Chris and Brandon. The Canucks leased the Rainbow Room for a few years and then built the Showboat Lounge and brought up entertainment. In the 1980s, the band developed the 40's style comedy review known as the Canteen Show in Watson Lake. It garnered rave reviews and travelled through the states during the winter. The show eventually moved to Whitehorse and ran until Ed and Donna took over the lease on the Discovery Bar in the Taku Hotel. They held many fund raisers in the bar to help those with special needs.1) Ed Isaac was a long-time member of the of Whitehorse band Canucks.
