BC and the Yukon have a special relationship. From connecting our energy grids to unlocking critical minerals, we’re creating more jobs and a stronger, more unified Canada.
Because good neighbours work together.
I’m delighted to welcome my fellow Western Premiers and their teams to the Northwest Territories.
I look forward to meaningful discussion on international trade and tariffs, economic and energy corridors, Arctic security and sovereignty, housing, and emergency preparedness.

I’m proud to stand with Team Canada at the White House to reinforce the longstanding bond between our two countries.
We need to continue working together to create jobs, grow our economies, and protect our communities on both sides of the border.
For the first time ever, all 13 Canadian premiers are in Washington, D.C., for discussions with American officials about the impact of tariffs on our economies. Our message is clear, tariffs hurt people and businesses on both sides of the border.

Minister @JohnStreicker and I were thrilled this week to take a tour of the newest piece of recreational infrastructure in Whitehorse. The new gymnastics facility and climbing wall in Whistlebend will be a state of the art facility.
(1/2) The First Ministers' Meeting yesterday was an opportunity to come together as premiers, as Prime Minister, and as Canadians to discuss how we’ll move forward with strength in the months ahead.
I presented Yukon Premier @RanjPillai1 with a qulliq today, made by James Mearns, to signify his term as the new Chair of the Northern Premier’s Forum. The qulliq will be passed each year to the residing Chair of the Norther Premier’s Forum.
