  • Sport Minister and Vuntut Gwitchin MLA to Meet with AWG International Committee| Government of Yukon News Release
    16/08/2017 Sport minister and Vuntut Gwitchin MLA to meet with AWG International Committee| Government of Yukon news release FOR RELEASE May 1, 2013 Sport minister and Vuntut Gwitchin MLA to meet with AWG International Committee WHITEHORSE—The Arctic Winter Games International Committee is convening a special meeting in Vancouver, BC, on May 5 to review options for inclusion of all sports at the 2016 Arctic Winter Games in Greenland. Community Services Minister Elaine Taylor and Independent Vuntut Gwitchin MLA Darius Elias will join ministers and political leaders from all six permanent member jurisdictions including Northern Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Alaska and Greenland. “The Arctic Winter Games are a pivotal aspect of our sport development system,” Taylor said. “The discussions at the meeting this weekend are essential not only to the success of the 2016 Games, but also to the future of the Games going forward. Our goal is to enable young northern athletes to participate in a full Arctic Winter Games experience.” In September, the international committee announced that six sports would not be part of the Greenland Games due to limited hosting capacity and lack of facilities. Since that time, the ministers responsible for sport in Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut have been calling upon the Arctic Winter Games International Committee to find ways to host these sports in other locations, including options for satellite venues in Nunavut or in other permanent partner jurisdictions. Last November, all members of the Yukon Legislative Assembly voted unanimously in favour of a motion from the Independent MLA for Vuntut Gwitchin, Darius Elias.

  • The Select Committee Regarding the Risks and Benefits Of
    Yukon Legislative Assembly Select Committee Regarding the Risks and Benefits of Hydraulic Fracturing 33rd Yukon Legislative Assembly NEWS RELEASE January 2, 2014 WHITEHORSE – The Select Committee Regarding the Risks and Benefits of Hydraulic Fracturing will travel to southern Alberta next week to tour a site where hydraulic fracturing is used and to conduct a number of meetings. The six-member committee will fly to Calgary on Monday, January 6th and return to Whitehorse on January 9th. “Touring a site where hydraulic fracturing is being used will allow us to see the practice with our own eyes and to learn about the equipment, chemicals, and procedures that are involved,” said Committee Chair Patti McLeod. “Gaining a science-based understanding of hydraulic fracturing is an important part of our mandate and this trip will broaden our knowledge of both the risks and the benefits of the practice.” While in Calgary and Red Deer, the Committee will meet government officials, non- government organizations (NGOs), industry representatives, academics and concerned groups. The government officials will include health professionals from Alberta Health Services to provide perspectives on the potential risks to human health, officials from the Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development Department to learn about potential environmental risks, and the Alberta Energy Regulator to learn about how the practice is regulated. The Committee will also meet with an NGO whose mandate is facilitating communication and co-operation amongst industry, regulatory agencies and affected communities, as well as an NGO that advocates against hydraulic fracturing. From industry, Committee members will hear from the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers as well as the individual company whose site they will tour.

  • A Focus on Electoral Reform
    Canadian eview Focus on Electoral Reform. CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/WINTER 2016 1 Made of copper and gold-plated, Ontario’s Mace was crafted in Ottawa in 1867. It is the third Mace to be used in the province’s history since the establishment of the Legislature during colonial times in 1792. The province’s first Mace was captured by American soldiers during the War of 1812 and later returned, and the second – dating from around 1845 - ended up in the federal parliament following Confederation in 1867 and was subsequently destroyed during a 1916 fire. Sitting underneath the crown within decorative leaves, the cup of the current Mace features the insignia of King Edward VII. The original cup bore the initials V.R. for Victoria Regina and was recently rediscovered among the collection at the Royal Ontario Museum. It is now on display in the Legislative Building lobby. In 2009, the first two diamonds mined in Ontario were mounted into the crown of the Mace. One was left in the rough to represent the mining process, and the other was polished to signify the value of the diamond industry in Ontario. The polished diamond was inscribed with the Legislative Assembly of Ontario’s motto Audi Alteram Partem – “Hear the Other Side”. Parliamentary Protocol and Public Relations Branch, Legislative Assembly of Ontario 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/FALL 2016 Maisei Raman & Doug McLean/shutterstock.com The Canadian Parliamentary Review was founded in 1978 to inform Canadian legislators about activities of the federal, provincial and territorial branches of the Canadian Region of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association and to promote the study of and interest in Canadian parliamentary institutions.
