Your government

We want to improve our democracy and we wanted your input to make sure we head in the right direction.

In fall 2018 we asked what issues are most important to you when it comes to how Yukoners make their voices heard, the system we use to elect territorial governments, and how territorial political parties and elected officials work.

In spring 2019 we will strike an independent commission on electoral reform. We will ask it to work on the priorities Yukoners have identified and to make recommendations to us in a final report in late fall 2019.

Help set standards for animal care. Animals are important to Yukoners. The Government of Yukon supports animal owners to be responsible stewards of domestic animals - both livestock and companion animals. 

The intent of the engagement was to encourage LGBTQ2S+ Yukoners and allies to help us create an action plan to ensure that Government of Yukon services better meet the needs of LGBTQ2S+ Yukoners.

The Government of Yukon has developed Our Clean Future: A Yukon strategy for climate change, energy and a green economy in collaboration with Yukon First Nations, transboundary Indigenous groups and Yukon municipalities.

We asked Yukoners for their input on whether they want to keep the twice-annual time change or observe a single time permanently.

We also asked which time Yukoners would rather observe if the twice-annual time change is dropped: Pacific Daylight Saving Time or Pacific Standard Time.

For economic, energy, health and other reasons, jurisdictions in western North America are reviewing how they set and observe time.
