  • Yukon/Canada Partnership Allows Winter Access to Kluane National Park and Reserve and Chilkoot Trail National Historic Site Elai
    15/08/2017 Yukon/Canada partnership allows winter access to Kluane National Park and Reserve and Chilkoot Trail National Historic Site| Government of … FOR RELEASE December 21, 2012 Yukon/Canada partnership allows winter access to Kluane National Park and Reserve and Chilkoot Trail National Historic Site WHITEHORSE—Yukon Highways and Public Works Minister and MLA for Kluane Wade Istchenko and Environment Minister Currie Dixon, along with Member of Parliament for Yukon Ryan Leef, announced today a cooperative working relationship to provide winter access to Kathleen Lake in Kluane National Park and Reserve and the Chilkoot Trail National Historic Site – two popular recreation destinations. “The Yukon government approached Parks Canada to seek a solution that would provide winter access to these important recreational areas,” Istchenko said. “I am very pleased that the Yukon government is part of this coordinated effort to encourage winter recreation, support winter tourism and enhance safety along the Haines Road.” Through the cooperative agreement, Highways and Public Works, with the support of Environment, will maintain access to Kathleen Lake on a trial basis throughout the winter. “The Yukon government recognizes that Kathleen Lake is an important site for winter recreational activities like ice fishing or skiing,” Dixon said. “We are happy to partner with Parks Canada to ensure that all Yukoners and visitors will continue to have access to the Kathleen Lake site.” Additionally, Highways and Public Works, along with the Skagway-based Log Cabin Ski Society and the B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, will help support Parks Canada to keep the Log Cabin parking lot and restroom facilities open by clearing snow and refreshing supplies.

  • Premier and Ministers to Attend 2016 Gold Show in Dawson City
    FOR RELEASE May 19, 2016 Premier and ministers to attend 2016 Gold Show in Dawson City WHITEHORSE—Premier Darrell Pasloski and Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources Scott Kent will attend the 30th annual Dawson City International Gold Show this weekend along with Minister of Economic Development Stacey Hassard and Minister of Environment Wade Istchenko. “Exploration and mining has commanded a large role in Yukon’s economic well-being for well over a century,” Pasloski said. “I look forward to meeting with placer miners and the Klondike Placer Miners’ Association while I’m in Dawson to learn how this government can best continue supporting their industry.” One way the Yukon government supports the placer industry is through the Yukon Mineral Exploration Program. Earlier this month, 16 placer projects were approved for a total of $461,234 in funding to help locate, explore and develop the projects to advanced exploration stages. Forty-two hard rock projects were also approved. The $1.4 million in government funding could leverage more than $5 million in additional spending by the successful applicants. “Last year, more than 62,000 crude ounces of placer gold was produced, with a value of more than $73 million dollars,” Kent said. “These numbers make it clear that placer mining continues to be a solid contributor to Yukon’s economy and our communities.” The Dawson City International Gold Show, organized by the Dawson City Chamber of Commerce, takes place this year on May 20 and 21.

  • From Stacey Hassard, Leader of The
    Yukon Legislative Assembly Box 2703, Whitehorse, Yukon Y1A.2C6 November 4,2019 Hon. Sandy Silver Premier P.O. Box 2703 Whitehorse, Yukon ViA 2C6 Dear Premier Silver, RE: Electoral Reform You still have not responded to many questions the Official Opposition posed in previous correspondence regarding electoral reform. We are of the firm view that in order for you to demonstrate you are working wfth all parties in good faith that you should answer these questions. Refusing to answer simple and reasonable questions in writing only contributes to the perception that you are needlessly being secretive or purposely keeping information from opposition parties. You have now received the questions through multiple letters; I encourage you to please answer them. As you know, the Official Opposition has been trying to work with you for almost two years to develop a collaborative electoral reform process that is fair and involves all political parties in the Yukon Legislative Assembly. It was only when the Liberal government unilaterally decided on an unfair approach that stacks the decks in the favour of the Uberal Party that this process went off the rails. That said, and despite the fact that you so far have not been forthcoming or transparent throughout this process, the Official Opposition believes that it is in the interests of Vukoners to try and get this back on track. For that reason, suggesting gth I am that all three parties meet on November at 12:30 PM to discuss a path forward. The topic of electoral reform, as you know can be quite broad, but we interpret major electoral reform to mean any changes in law that would affect how and when Vukoners can vote or how their ballot is counted.
