Yukon Government Passes Legislation on Movable Soccer Goals Matthew
16/08/2017 Yukon government passes legislation on movable soccer goals| Government of Yukon news release FOR RELEASE May 14, 2013 Yukon government passes legislation on movable soccer goals WHITEHORSE—An act to ensure the safe use of movable soccer goals at public recreational facilities was passed in the Yukon Legislative Assembly yesterday. The legislation allows the Government of Yukon to work with user and stakeholder groups to develop safe use standards that will apply to movable soccer goals. “We are thankful to stakeholders in the community, whose input and support were instrumental in the development of the legislation,” Education Minister Scott Kent said. “We will continue to work collaboratively with the various groups as we develop the regulations.” In October 2012, the members of the Yukon Legislative Assembly unanimously agreed to Motion 238 in response to the death of five-year-old Jaedyn Amann of Watson Lake. The motion called for the examination of legislative, regulatory and policy options to ensure that movable sports nets at public facilities meet appropriate standards that protect the safety of Yukon children. In addition, the chief coroner issued a report and recommendations. “This bill will allow the Department of Education to bring forward regulations that will govern safety standards for soccer nets on public grounds and it’s our hope that no family has to go through this kind of nightmare again,” Watson Lake MLA Patti McLeod, who brought forward Motion 238, said. “I want everyone to know that the community is very appreciative of the actions being taken with the passage of this bill and I thank all members for their support.” The legislation and regulations address recommendations arising from the coroner’s report and Motion 238, ensuring that appropriate safe use standards are followed by both the users of movable soccer goals and the public bodies responsible for operating public recreational facilities.

This period witnessed a devolution of power from the federal government to the Yukon government that resulted in a shift of the day-to-day political tensions and disputes in Yukon moving from a federal-territorial orientation to a territorial-local one. Two key themes are consistently present in Yukon’s political and educational history.

Delegates at Gomedia Canada Enjoy Yukon's Northern Hospitality| Government of Yukon News Release
15/08/2017 Delegates at GoMedia Canada enjoy Yukon's northern hospitality| Government of Yukon news release FOR RELEASE May 31, 2012 Delegates at GoMedia Canada enjoy Yukon's northern hospitality WHITEHORSE—More than 140 travel media and 150 delegates from around the world came to Whitehorse to take part in the Canadian Tourism Commission’s (CTC) annual GoMedia Canada Marketplace. The high-profile three-day marketing event was hosted by the Yukon government and its tourism industry partners. “Thanks to the efforts of everyone involved, hundreds of visiting media and tourism professionals will go home with exciting stories of their northern experience and an awareness of all that Yukon has to offer,” Tourism and Culture Minister Mike Nixon said. “The economic benefits of hosting GoMedia are significant with about half a million dollars injected into our local economy now, plus the long-term boost from all the unpaid advertising when journalists write about destination Yukon.” Before and after the event, travel media and delegates learned about Whitehorse and Yukon through tours of local sites and attractions, and had opportunities to network with local tourism operators. This is the first time the event has been hosted north of the 60th parallel. “The Canadian Tourism Commission’s annual GoMedia Canada Marketplace provides marketing and communication professionals opportunities to meet one-on-one with travel journalists and media from around the globe eager to know more about the Canadian region hosting the event,” CTC executive director Global Communications Gloria Loree said. “They come to tell its stories, to network with colleagues, and to gain a better appreciation for the host jurisdiction that provides authentic visitor experiences in support of Canada’s tourism sector.” Yukon government ministers Scott Kent, Currie Dixon and Wade Istchenko, and MLA Stacey Hassard were celebrity servers at Monday’s welcome reception.
