What was this engagement about? 

The Government of Yukon is developing firearms legislation.

The proposed firearms legislation will allow us to explore possibilities to support responsible firearm owners in the territory. The legislation could support the creation of a new firearms advocate for the territory. A firearms advocate could: 

  • support and advocate on behalf of lawful Yukon firearm owners and those impacted by firearms;
  • support education, training and safety initiatives on firearms;
  • advise the Minister of Justice on firearms issues; and
  • communicate with the public on firearms to hear and understand Yukoners’ perspectives.
How will my input make a difference?

We’ll use your feedback to:

  • inform firearms legislation; and
  • prioritize and inform the potential work of the firearms advocate.
