Government of Yukon and Yukon First Nations meet for Yukon Forum

It is fitting that we met today, on the 46th anniversary of Together Today for Our Children Tomorrow and the 26th anniversary of the Umbrella Final Agreement. The work we are doing through the Yukon Forum embodies the vision of Together Today for Our Children Tomorrow by supporting two-way communication and a fair and just partnership between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Today’s agenda included mining and economic development which allowed for further strategic conversations and progress on these issues that affect all Yukoners. We also discussed the Arctic and Northern Policy Framework and our approach to the next Intergovernmental Forum. Both of these items involve the federal government and we are working together to have a unified approach from Yukon.  

On the 46^th anniversary of Together Today for Our Children Tomorrow, Yukon First Nations work diligently to ensure the vision of our leaders is implemented. We acknowledge the significant advancements made to date, however, Yukon First Nations recognize that much work continues to be done.
