The Government of Yukon has released its 2019–20 Performance Plan update. The report tracks progress in a number of areas such as health, housing, jobs, and reconciliation with First Nations. It provides a 2019 year in review and also a look ahead into 2020 priorities and commitments.
The report is organized into eight themes linked to each of the Government of Yukon’s priorities. It once again features a collection of Canadian Index of Wellbeing indicators for Yukon as well as a set of program and service-specific measures that are tracked across government.
Wellbeing indicators provide a measure of the territory’s social, economic and environmental conditions and a tool for evidence-based decision making and progress. Those Canadian Index of Wellbeing indicators that are included in the report are sourced from data that is also tracked across the country, providing information that can be compared nationally and by jurisdiction. There is a growing movement across the world to use wellbeing as the lens for decision-making and the Government of Yukon is a proud supporter of this approach.
Our government is committed to delivering results that improve the lives of Yukoners. The Performance Plan update provides a snapshot of our territory’s progress, capturing some of the ways we are listening to community voices, addressing the priorities of Yukoners and providing services that focus on local needs, local interests and local solutions.
Premier Sandy Silver
The Performance Plan, progress report and key Yukon indicators will be updated regularly as part of the Government of Yukon’s commitment to transparency, evidence-based decision making and delivering results that meaningfully improve the lives of Yukoners.
The 2019–20 update builds on an ongoing reporting process that started in 2018 with the goal of providing a broad view into what government is doing to advance wellbeing in the territory.
The Performance Plan’s eight themes each support the Government of Yukon’s five central priorities that ensure: Yukoners live healthier, happier lives; we live in a diverse, fair society committed to reconciliation; Yukoners’ communities are healthy and vibrant; Yukoners have good jobs and live in a sustainable environment; and Yukoners are supported by an accountable government.
