Posted by Yukon Liberal Party President on August 21, 2025

WHITEHORSE – Mark Kelly has officially been confirmed as the Yukon Liberal Party candidate for Riverdale North. Mark announced his intention to seek the nomination on August 6, 2025.

Mark Kelly has deep roots in Riverdale North, where he first moved 25 years ago and has chosen to make his home. Over the years, he has been an active part of the community as an outreach worker, trauma counsellor, and small business owner, always showing up for people. From building programs and services from the ground up to lending a helping hand to neighbours, Mark has dedicated his life to making the
Yukon a stronger, more caring place.

He believes in a Yukon where everyone looks out for each other, with strong public services, meaningful climate action, reconciliation, and a fair economy that works for all. Mark brings integrity, work ethic, and a deep commitment to people and place to his candidacy, and he is eager to continue serving Yukoners in this next chapter as the official Yukon Liberal Party candidate for Riverdale North.

The next territorial election must happen on or before November 3, 2025. As one candidate has stepped forward to represent the Yukon Liberals in this riding, the nomination meeting scheduled for August 22, 2025 is no longer needed.

“We’re proud to confirm Mark Kelly as the Yukon Liberal Party candidate for Riverdale North. Mark’s the kind of neighbour who’s always there to listen, help out, and roll up his sleeves when it counts. With his energy, fresh ideas, and genuine care for the community, we know he’ll represent Riverdale North with heart and help keep the Yukon moving forward.”
- Mike Pemberton, Leader of the Yukon Liberal Party

“What I love about Riverdale North is the mix of people and the close connection to the outdoors. This is a neighbourhood where kids walk to school, people bike to work, and families live and play on the trails and the river. It reflects the best of Yukon life, and I’m ready to stand up for it in the Legislature with the same energy and compassion I’ve always brought to my work and my neighbours.”
- Mark Kelly, Yukon Liberal Party candidate for Riverdale North
