The Commissioner of Yukon Angélique Bernard, in her capacity as Chancellor of the Order of Yukon, is honoured and thrilled to announce the 2021 inductees to the Order of Yukon. These names were chosen among the nominations submitted to the Advisory Council.
The following 2021 inductees demonstrated excellence, achievement and outstanding contributions to the social, cultural or economic wellbeing of the Yukon and its residents:
- Peter Menzies, for his ongoing and substantial contributions in numerous areas such as education, the arts and community building, in Dawson and the Yukon.
- David Mossop, for his work in the area of conservation and environment in the Yukon, which led to the recovery of the Peregrine Falcon in the territory.
- Dr. David Storey, for his work in the medical field, his mentoring and training of many surgeons over the years.
I join all Yukoners in congratulating Peter, David and Dr. Storey on being inducted to the Order of Yukon. I sincerely thank them for their outstanding contributions to the development of our territory. They have truly made a difference. Thank you to the Advisory Council members for their work in selecting the inductees.
