Premier Sandy Silver has issued the following statement:

“It is with deep sadness that I learned today of the passing of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. 

Prince Philip devoted his life to others. He served in the Royal Navy for 13 years, starting in 1939 as a Cadet. He continued to champion personal achievement and founded the Duke of Edinburgh Award.

This global program encourages young people to pursue worthwhile activities in the name of service to their communities in hopes of inspiring others to reach for their full potential.

Commissioner Angélique Bernard has issued the following statement:

“On behalf of all Yukoners, I would like to offer our deepest sympathy to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the passing of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

Yukon fondly remembers his late Royal Highness’s Prince Philip’s visits to the territory, on his own in 1954 and then in 1959 in the company of the Queen.
