Government of Yukon

The Premier online

Premier's Community Tour 2007

Throughout September and October, Premier Dennis Fentie and his Cabinet colleagues traveled to Yukon communities where they met with First Nation and municipal governments and citizens.

The community tours are an opportunity for the Premier and his colleagues to hear firsthand, the concerns and priorities of each community as well as provide an excellent venue to exchange and provide information on many fronts.

There were issues that were specific to individual communities, while there were also common themes heard throughout Yukon revolving around the following areas:

  • Highways and Public Safety
  • Housing
  • Education
  • Senior’s issues
  • Community Infrastructure and Programs
  • Wildlife and Environmental Protection
  • Land
  • Capacity (human resource and financial) 

As we continue to build on the four major pillars that form our government’s vision to build Yukon’s future; the views and opinions that Yukoners expressed during the community tours are invaluable tools in the decision and policy-making processes of governing Yukon.
