Government of Yukon supports successful Indigenous economic development conference

Robust economic growth and investment in Yukon would not be possible without strong government-to-government relationships with First Nations and dedicated efforts to strengthen entrepreneurial opportunities. It was very exciting that the Arctic Inspiration Prize award ceremony was part of the conference program. I am particularly excited that the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in Teaching and Working Farm received a prize and I am also grateful for MP Larry Bagnell’s work on securing matching funding from the federal government for this great initiative.

As the largest multi-sector conference hosted North of 60, the Arctic Indigenous Investment Conference provides an incredible opportunity to create new contacts, build relationships, share successes and gain inspiration from neighbours, colleagues and competitors. We are grateful to our partners at the Government of Yukon, Indigenous development corporations and businesses from all sectors for their ongoing support as we continue to work collaboratively from coast to coast to coast to create economic prosperity and community wellness across the North.
