Dear friends,

Thank you.

Over the past five years, you have helped the Yukon NDP become an effective and reliable voice for Yukoners.

The Yukon NDP campaign’s Porter Creek effort took on more momentum today as former Whitehorse Elementary School principal and disability rights advocate Pat Berrel was nominated to represent the party as its candidate in Porter Creek Centre. Berrel’s nomination meeting took place at Porter Creek Secondary School, which served as the backdrop for the longtime educator’s campaign launch earlier this year.

150 upbeat Yukoners took part in discussions and listened to leading Yukon and national New Democrats at the Yukon NDP’s annual convention, held this weekend at the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre. The election year gathering highlighted the benefits of progressive communities, and the positive role a Yukon NDP government would have in shaping a fairer and a more sustainable territory.

Flanked by some of her closest supporters, Takhini–Kopper King MLA Kate White launched her re-election campaign ahead of this year's Yukon election. The announcement, made across from the Takhini Mobile Home Court in White's riding, underscored her desire to continue advocating for action on affordable housing for all Yukoners and a stronger focus on eliminating poverty.
