We asked the public and members of the film and media industries to help us review our film funding programs. A lot has changed for the industry since the funding programs were created more than a decade ago. We are ready for an updated approach that helps Yukon film and media producers to stay competitive in today’s market.

Help set standards for animal care. Animals are important to Yukoners. The Government of Yukon supports animal owners to be responsible stewards of domestic animals - both livestock and companion animals. 

The Government of Yukon, Yukon First Nations, transboundary Indigenous groups and local municipalities are working to update the way we address climate change, energy and building a green economy.

We are developing a new strategy that will make our communities more resilient, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and plan for Yukon’s energy needs and economic future.

We asked Yukoners about their priorities on addressing climate change, meeting our energy needs, and developing a green economy.

This engagement helped to develop an interpretive plan for the Canadian section of the Top of the World Highway. The purpose of the plan is to convey key messages regarding cultural, heritage and natural resources of the area. This will enhance the experience for travellers by presenting stories and information about the highway.

The intent of the engagement was to encourage LGBTQ2S+ Yukoners and allies to help us create an action plan to ensure that Government of Yukon services better meet the needs of LGBTQ2S+ Yukoners.

The Condominium Act, 2015 was passed by the Yukon Legislature in May 2015. Like the Land Titles Act, 2015, it was developed with the participation of representatives from First Nation governments, real estate lawyers, surveyors, the business community, condominium owners, the federal surveyor general’s branch and the Government of Yukon.

We asked all Yukoners to share their thoughts on Yukon’s Permit Hunt Authorization system, which is used to provide hunting permits in areas of Yukon where harvest opportunities are limited. We asked what Yukoners value about the system, as well as those areas where improvements could be made.

The Government of Yukon has been working to develop regulations for off-road vehicle use. We completed a public engagement in late winter and early spring of 2019, proposing a 3-part approach. This includes:

a. developing a regulation that would apply to ORV use on public land;
b. incorporating the ability to ticket and fine; and
c. requiring Yukoners to register ORVs for use in the backcountry.

We invited everyone to review and provide feedback on our proposed approach. This approach was informed by input over the years from:

In November 2018, an Independent Expert Panel was appointed to conduct a review of Yukon’s health and social services systems. The panel is made up of Yukoners and health systems experts from outside the territory.

Working together, we have to figure out how we can better allocate our existing resources (people and money), improve services, make things more efficient and find creative solutions to meet our needs today and tomorrow. To do that, the panel needs to hear from Yukoners about their experiences using our health and social services system.

The Government of Yukon recognizes the impact of plastic waste and has committed, along with federal, provincial and territorial environment ministers, to work towards significant reductions in waste disposal and zero plastic waste in Canada.
One way in which the Yukon government is helping decrease plastic waste is through a proposed surcharge on single-use shopping bags received at point-of-sale.

This is one of many steps that the Government of Yukon is planning to take to improve the territory’s recycling system and make it more sustainable.
