Imagine Yukon's Future Tomorrow


The Yukon Party's election slogan is "Imagine Tomorrow." All this optimism is built on a solid foundation of 5 years of cooperation: cooperation among all the north-of-60 governments in dealing with the Federal government... ie "new Territorial Funding Formula, ... marketing of the 2007 Canada Winter Games ... better access to federal health care... better access to childcare and post secondary education and training programs."

The Yukon has gone through some 20 years of a mild depression, brought on by non -cooperation among the verious First Nations Land Claims, the 3 Northern Territories, and the Federal government. Our Yukon Party has concluded Final Agreements with the Kluane First Nation, Kwanlin Dun First Nation, and the Carcross Tagish First Nation. It is working with all the Yukon First Nations to make them full partners in Yukon's economic development.

The result is a rebirth of optimism in Yukon's future, one that would make the pioneers of 100 years ago proud.
