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.

"I'm very happy to welcome another strong small business owner and female entrepreneur to the Liberal team. As a long-time resident of the Copperbelt South riding, Sheila is ready to hit the ground running."
