Government of Yukon announces partnership with Environmental Careers Organization Canada and launch of Yukon Sustainability Awards

Thanks to our many partners, both nationally and locally, our government continues to make progress on Our Clean Future: A Yukon strategy for climate change, energy and a green economy. By recognizing Yukon businesses that are also role models in the environmental sector, we are strengthening our government’s commitment to cleaner and more sustainable economic development in the territory. I look forward to the many innovative projects this collaboration with ECO Canada will bring forth in the new year and to celebrating Yukon leaders who are ensuring a more resilient territory for the generations to come.

The Yukon Sustainability Awards are the first of its kind in any of the Canadian provinces and territories. These awards underscore the importance of innovation and shared responsibility to address the unique sustainability issues each province and territory is facing. They aim to recognize and celebrate the Yukon businesses that take this responsibility seriously, set an example for their peers, and create room for collaboration and innovation to address the complex sustainability challenges.
