Your government

E-scooters and other electric micromobility devices are increasingly common ways for people to get around. As their use grows, the Government of Yukon wants to better understand Yukoners’ experiences, concerns and priorities related to their safe use.

In this engagement, we’re focused on possible Government of Yukon action. It is not a review of the City of Whitehorse’s bylaw.

• how Yukoners access French-language services;

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.

The engagement helped us develop the Tools for managing mining in Yukon municipalities to:

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.

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.
