An Update on our Pregnancy Dispenser Program!
Our pregnancy test dispensers are a success! 133 pregnancy tests sold in ten months – that’s 13 a month!
Yukon college has created a gender neutral washroom on the main floor and a pregnancy test dispenser is now available at this location. A second dispenser will be installed in a second floor women’s washroom soon.
Take the survey! Use the QRS code on the pregnancy test dispensers located at Yukon College or the Dirty Northern Public House to take a short survey and receive a $25.00 iTunes card. You can also find this code on the posters located in the women’s washrooms at the Jarvis Street Saloon or the Grateful Spud.
There is still time! The research collaboration from the University of Alaska, Anchorage, continues and has been extended to June of 2016.
Thanks for protecting the next generation!
A celebration of a new family member!
