1/3 Yesterday, I provided an update on the evolving wildfire situation alongside Minister @yukonrpmostyn, Wildland Fire Management, Emergency Support Services, Mayor of Mayo Trevor Ellis, and Yukon First Nations Chief Dawna Hope, Chief Pauline Frost and Chief Sean Smith.

I was pleased to join our Premier and Mayor Ellis earlier this week for these discussions on site. Thank you to everyone working so hard to protect Yukoners, residences and other sites.

1/3 Earlier this week, I went to Mayo and met with Mayor Trevor Ellis and David Trudeau, Regional Protection Manager for Wildland Fire Management. We discussed the current situation on the ground as well as ongoing efforts to manage and fight nearby wildfires.

[Ranj Pillai @RanjPillai1]

2/3 Thank you both for walking me through the area and showing me the fire preparedness work, including strategies such as irrigation and structural protection measures. It was important to see things in-person.

[Ranj Pillai @RanjPillai1]

3/3 It is important to note that the Village of Mayo remains under an evacuation order. It is not safe to return there. If you are still in Mayo, you are strongly encouraged to leave in case the situation worsens. If you need help in Whitehorse, call ESS at 867-332-4597.

I was pleased to join Premier @RanjPillai1, Minister responsible for the Yukon Housing Corporation, and Carmacks Mayor Lee Bodie to mark the opening of a new accessible duplex in Carmacks yesterday.

[Jeremy Harper @JeremyHarperMLA]

It’s not only in a great location within the village, but these 2-bedroom homes are also wheelchair accessible and include 2 parking stalls per unit and a washer and dryer. I am proud our government is committed to bringing more housing online that is relevant to community needs.

In just a couple days, Team Yukon will be competing in Halifax for the 2023 North American Indigenous Games and tonight @JeremyHarperMLA and I were honoured to help give them a spirited send-off.

[Richard Mostyn @yukonrpmostyn]

These athletes are the territory’s future leaders and our government is proud to support them as they strive to achieve their goals and reach for their dreams and beyond. Best of luck to everyone competing and have fun!

@NAIG2023

[Jeremy Harper @JeremyHarperMLA]

I myself attended the North American Indigenous Games as an athlete and as a coach, and I know how significant these competitions are for driving ambition and building dreams for our youth. Thanks to @YukonASC and the @yukongov for supporting our athletes. Good luck everyone!

[Jeremy Harper @JeremyHarperMLA]
