  • The North American Arctic: Themes in Regional Security
    Edited by The North American Arctic addresses the emergence of a new security relationship within the Dwayne Ryan Menezes North American North. It focuses on current and emerging security issues that confront the North American Arctic and that shape relationships between and with neighbouring states (Alaska in Heather N. Nicol the US; Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut in Canada; Greenland and Russia). Identifying the degree to which ‘domain awareness’ has redefined the traditional military focus, while a new human rights discourse undercuts traditional ways of managing sovereignty and territory, the volume’s contributors question normative security arrangements. Although security itself is not an obsolete concept, our understanding of what constitutes real human-centred security has become outdated. The contributors argue that there are new regionally specific threats originating from a wide range of events and possibilities, and very different subjectivities that can be brought to understand the shape of Arctic security and security relationships in the twenty-first century. The North American Arctic provides a framework or lens through which many new developments are assessed in order to understand their impact on a changing circumpolar region at different scales – from the level of community to the broader national and regional scale. Dwayne Ryan Menezes is Founder and Managing Director of Polar Research and Policy Initiative (PRPI) and Honorary Fellow at the UCL Institute of Risk and Disaster Reduction. Heather N.Heather Nicol Menezes Dwayne Ryan by Edited Heather N. Nicol is Professor in the School of the Environment and Acting Director of the School for the Study of Canada at Trent University (Canada).

  • Gazetteer of Yukon
    Gazetteer of Yukon Updated: May 1, 2021 Yukon Geographical Names Program Tourism and Culture Yukon Geographical Place Names Program The Yukon Geographical Place Names Program manages naming and renaming of Yukon places and geographical features. This includes lakes, rivers, creeks and mountains. Anyone can submit place names that reflect our diverse cultures, history and landscape. Yukon Geographical Place Names Board The Yukon Geographical Place Names Board (YGPNB) approves the applications and recommends decisions to the Minister of Tourism and Culture. The YGPNB meets at least twice a year to decide upon proposed names. The Board has six members appointed by the Minister of Tourism and Culture, three of whom are nominated by the Council of Yukon First Nations. Yukon Geographical Place Names Database The Heritage Resources Unit maintains and updates the Yukon Geographical Place Names Database of over 6,000 records. The Unit administers the program for naming and changing the names of Yukon place names and geographical features such as lakes, rivers, creek and mountains, approved by the Minister of Tourism and Culture, based on recommendations of the YGPNB. Guiding Principles The YGPNB bases its decisions on whether to recommend or rescind a particular place name to the Minister of Tourism and Culture on a number of principles and procedures first established by the Geographic Names Board of Canada. First priority shall be given to names with When proposing names for previously long-standing local usage by the general unnamed features—those for which no public, particularly indigenous names in local names exist—preference shall be the local First Nation language.

  • A Province in All but Name: the Political and Constitutional Evolution of Yukon Since 1979
    A Province in all but Name: The Political and Constitutional Evolution of Yukon since 1979 Ian Peach Introduction: For much of its history as part of Canada, since being admitted into the Dominion of Canada through the Rupert’s Land and North-western Territory Order of 1870, the part of the country now known as Yukon (until the 1898 passage of the first Yukon Act, when it was made a separate territory, part of the Northwest Territories, though it became a separate district of the Northwest Territories in 1895) was, in effect, an internal colony of the Government of Canada, administered by a Lieutenant Governor and, after 1898, a Commissioner appointed by the federal government. As the Yukon Legislative Assembly noted, the Commissioner, who had the powers of both a Premier and a Lieutenant Governor, was not only appointed by the federal government but received instructions from either the Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs or the federal Cabinet, through letters of instruction, and was responsible to the federal government, not to the residents of the Yukon.1 Under the terms of the first Yukon Act of 1898, the Yukon government was to consist of the Commissioner and a council of no more than six members appointed by the Governor-in-Council to aid the Commissioner in the administration of the territory.2 In 1900, the council was expanded to seven, with two of the members elected, and by 1908, the council was fully elected, though the Commissioner still ran the government and was still accountable to the federal government, not the elected territorial council.3 Beginning with the establishment of responsible government in the territory in 1979, though, Yukon has received a wide range of jurisdictions, including control over public lands and resources, to the point that the powers of the Yukon Government listed in the Yukon Act now look very much like the list of provincial powers in s.
