With a growing demand for critical minerals, mining also provides an opportunity for the territory to play a significant role in the clean energy transition.

Our government remains committed to supporting a strong, sustainable and responsible mining industry.

Last week, I joined Premier @RanjPillai1 at the Association for Mineral Exploration’s (AME) Roundup conference and the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference.

[John Streicker (he/him/his) @JohnStreicker]

Roundup provides an opportunity to have face-to-face meetings with industry representatives and First Nations governments to showcase why our territory ranks as one of the most desirable mining jurisdictions in the world.

[Ranj Pillai @RanjPillai1]

(3/3) I look forward to continued work here at home and with our federal counterparts as we continue to develop a greener mining industry across the North.

(1/3) Across the Yukon, there is incredible work being done by Yukon First Nations, municipalities, businesses, industry and Yukoners to address climate change. It is critically important that we all take action now to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.

[John Streicker (he/him/his) @JohnStreicker]

(2/3) Through our collective action we can make the transitions to a green economy, adapt and build resilience. Together, we have an opportunity to reach our long-term goal of being net-zero by 2050 and leaving a cleaner, better future for all Yukoners.

I was pleased to meet with my friend @stbstvdan while in Ottawa this week for Yukon Days. Our government’s relationship with Minister Vandal is strong, and we appreciate his commitment to ensuring we can partner on building, preserving and promoting the Yukon.

La Semaine nationale de l’immigration francophone a lieu chaque année en novembre. Elle est une occasion de souligner l’importante contribution sociale, culturelle et économique des personnes immigrantes d’expression française au Yukon.

(3/3) Like the Yukon itself, their repertoire is a mix of everything: folk, blues, country, rock, jazz - you name it, they put a classic Canucks spin on it.

We'll forever remember how the North danced to their beat.

[John Streicker (he/him/his) @JohnStreicker]

(1/3) Today in the @yukonassembly, I had the opportunity to pay tribute to our beloved Yukon musical institution: the Canucks.

[John Streicker (he/him/his) @JohnStreicker]

(2/3) Made up of Ray Park on piano, Red Lewis on drums, and Ed Isaak on bass, for over six decades the Canucks have been a bedrock of the Yukon's music scene - a longevity that puts them in the same league as the Rolling Stones!

Check out this new project from the Canadian youth-led non-profit Foundation for Environmental Stewardship!

It's called N:OW for Net-Zero and it's "a project focused on connecting youth with educational and hands-on experiences for a net-zero ‘now’."

With the completion of the Haeckel Hill Wind Project, we celebrate a significant achievement that will help power the Yukon with clean electricity.

It was great visiting Haeckel Hill today alongside Chief Sean Smith, @stbstvdan and @drbrendanhanley.
