Digital information and services

2020 presented some challenges no one saw coming. But, it also afforded us an opportunity to embrace agile development as we began to tackle all of the new and often urgent COVID-19-related services.

Last month we published a new Digital Service Delivery Guide to replace our Digital Standard.

We’ve again had the privilege of collaborating with the Ontario Digital Service, Apolitical and other Canadian jurisdictions to develop training to build digital capacity and skills in the public service.

It’s been a few months since our last update and now it’s time to take stock of our project updates on the government’s websites, citizen engagement, open data and online services.

The Government of Yukon has proclaimed the Lobbyists Registration Act and now organizations and people lobbying the government must report their lobbying activities.

A massive amount of work over the past 3 years has seen every government department move all of their content to Yukon.ca. Stand-alone department websites have now been turned off.

We’ve had a lot on the go since our last project update in May. This is what we’ve been working on, organized into websites, citizen engagement, open data and online services.

We’ve launched a service to give Yukoners another way to report poachers and polluters.

The Better to Know website is a resource for people with questions about sexual health and relationships.

As we head into summer, we’ve just launched improvements to how we present Yukon fire danger ratings.
