Statement from Premier Pillai on Easter

Premier Ranj Pillai has issued the following statement:

“As the Easter weekend approaches, many people in the Yukon and across the country will be spending time with friends, family and their communities to celebrate.

“For Christians, Easter is a deeply meaningful time to remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ – a moment that brings hope, peace and happiness.

“Beyond the religious significance, Easter and the arrival of spring usher in a sense of renewal and new beginnings. Easter is a season that encourages us all to look forward with optimism.

“You can feel the excitement in the air as children across the Yukon look forward to the Easter Bunny’s visit and egg hunts. The Yukon Wildlife Preserve and the Canada Games Centre and communities across the territory will be busy with families enjoying events and activities together.

“Whether you are decorating eggs, joining community events, attending church or relaxing with loved ones, I hope this Easter weekend brings you joy, laughter and special memories.

“Wishing you and your family a Happy Easter!”
