Your government

We want to explore how we can continue enhancing bilingual services in the Yukon and support a thriving Francophone community. This engagement will help the Government of Yukon understand:

• how Yukoners access French-language services;
• what is working well; and
• where access to services can be improved.

We're committed to ensuring all Yukoners have access to the services they need. Increasing access to bilingual services and information supports the Yukon government in continuing to fulfill this commitment. 

The Yukon government created this survey to gauge our progress on the LGBTQ2S+ Inclusion Action Plan. 

We designed this survey for 2SLGBTQIA+ Yukoners, and their allies, such as family, friends, service providers, educators and health care workers.

We want to ensure that we prioritize the actions that will have the most impact on you and your family over the next two years.

The Government of Yukon is seeking input to help guide the development of a new suite of funding programs that meet the priorities and needs of the local agricultural sector and its stakeholders. The new funding programs will replace the Canadian Agricultural Partnership (CAP) program that is expiring in March 2023.

The feedback will help identify the Yukon’s agricultural priorities. This will help the Government of Yukon negotiate the funding agreement known as the Bilateral Agreement with the Government of Canada in winter 2022–23.

We’re creating a new Yukon Public Lands Act to replace the existing lands legislation. Our goal is to develop a modern Act that provides a cohesive approach to land management in the Yukon.

This conversation was about what success looks like and how we can best use the new federal funding we received to improve services in French.

Over the past few years, we have laid a solid foundation to improve French language services in Yukon.

We used a strategic framework to clarify where we needed to focus our efforts. This first framework was developed in collaboration with the Association franco-yukonnaise in 2013.

This engagement is seeking industry and public input into the programs, services and global innovation trends that would create a positive impact in Yukon.
