Copperbelt South MLA Lois Moorcroft, whose political career spans terms as a Yukon NDP government minister and opposition critic, was officially given the go-ahead to represent the party once again in this year's territorial election. Moorcroft says that she wants another term in office to build a brighter future for her grandchildren and the next generation of 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.
