This past weekend, Government of Yukon representatives joined municipal representatives and community leaders in Whitehorse for important discussions during the Association of Yukon Communities’ annual general meeting (AGM).
The meeting was held in-person for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began. This was an election year for the Association of Yukon Communities (AYC), with a new executive team chosen for a two-year term:
- Ted Laking, President (Whitehorse);
- Lauren Hanchar, First Vice President (Watson Lake);
- Doris Hansen, Second Vice President (Carmacks); and
- Gord Curran, Past President (Teslin).
The Government of Yukon is pleased to have participated in the AYC annual gathering and appreciates the important role of Yukon municipalities for the citizens of the Yukon.
This spring’s renewal of our three-year partnership agreement is a great springboard for the Government of Yukon to continue to work alongside the Association of Yukon Communities to advance our shared priorities build healthy, vibrant and sustainable Yukon communities. Congratulations to the new Association of Yukon Communities executive team and thank you to the outgoing members for their hard work over the past two years
