Dear friends,

Thank you.

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

Yukon NDP Leader Liz Hanson rallied a rousing crowd of New Democrats as she was nominated this evening to represent the party in Whitehorse Centre – a riding she has represented since December 2010. Speaking energetically about Yukon’s opportunities to prosper, Hanson laid the broad framework for the values that she wants to bring to government as Yukon’s premier.

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.
