“These investments all directly support women, families and children. We are hearing how the pandemic has disproportionately impacted women across the country and these commitments show our support for women and families now and into the future. Reproductive care is important, and Yukoners should have access to the care and services they want and need.” – Paolo Gallina, candidate for Porter Creek Centre

“As a business owner, I have seen my staff impacted by the cost of childcare. Women shouldn’t have to decide between their career and their family. They should be able to make decisions about the future based on what they want, not what they can afford.” – Staci McIntosh, candidate for Porter Creek North

"When it comes to health and wellness, it is critical that citizens are able to communicate clearly with their health care professionals. That's why a bilingual health centre is so important for the Francophone community and the Yukon. We see this new health centre as an opportunity to begin building team-based, integrated clinic environments, as outlined in the Putting People first report recommendations.”

John Streicker, Liberal candidate for Mount Lorne Southern Lakes

“Our party is dedicated to equitable access to health care services for all Yukoners. We are committed to working with the Francophone community to address the health care needs of

French-speaking Yukoners.”

Pauline Frost, Liberal candidate for Vuntut Gwitchin

The Yukon Liberals have prioritized making the Yukon a more inclusive and equitable place for LGBTQ2S+ Yukoners over the past 4 years. That important work will continue, with new initiatives announced today.

“Yukoners elected us in 2016 because they wanted a change after years of stagnation, divisiveness, and poor planning. We have dramatically improved mental health supports for Yukoners, repaired relationships with Yukon First Nations, and developed comprehensive plans to improve healthcare, address climate change, and build a strong, resilient future for the benefit of all Yukoners,” said Leader Sandy Silver. “We recognize that there is more work to do. Our team is ready to continue serving Yukoners and take action to make their lives healthier, happier and more affordable. Let’s keep going.”

The Yukon Liberal Party is happy to confirm three new nominated candidates. Luke Campbell is the official Liberal Party Candidate for Kluane. Jeremy Harper is the candidate for Mayo-Tatchun and Staci McIntosh is the candidate for Porter Creek North.
