Message from Minister Richard Mostyn
Congratulations on being selected to represent Team Yukon at the 2023 Canada Winter Games in beautiful Prince Edward Island. Like all Yukoners, I can’t wait to follow your journeys.
Making Team Yukon is a great accomplishment. When you step on the field of play at the Games, it represents the culmination of the countless hours, hard work and dedication you have put in to be here. We are so proud of your accomplishments and we know you will do your best to represent our territory on the national stage.
We are behind you as you face the competitions ahead. From these trials will rise learning opportunities about yourself and your sport. This is a time to test your spirit and prove to yourself what you are capable of. It is your time to seize the moment.
I know you will all be great ambassadors of the Yukon. So try your best, cheer loudly, add to your pin collection and be Yukon proud.
