What was this engagement about? 

At the time of the engagement, the Government of Yukon was developing firearms legislation.

The engagement was about proposing firearms legislation that would allows us to explore options to support responsible firearm owners in the territory. The legislation proposed could support the creation of a new firearms advocate for the territory. The engagement considered a firearms advocate that could: 

  • support and advocate on behalf of lawful Yukon firearm owners and those impacted by firearms;
  • support education, training and safety initiatives on firearms;
  • advise the Minister of Justice on firearms issues; and
  • communicate with the public on firearms to hear and understand Yukoners’ perspectives.
