Born and raised Watson Laker Devin Brodhagen, an Aboriginal disability rights activist, is throwing his hat in the ring to win the Yukon NDP nomination for his community. A quadriplegic since age 18, Brodhagen wants to be a part of the next chapter in Watson Lake’s history – and he says that the Yukon NDP are the best choice for Watson Lakers who want to see their community thrive.

The Yukon NDP campaign picked up steam in southeastern Yukon as Erin Labonte put her name forward today as a candidate for the party in Watson Lake. The born-and-raised Watson Laker is best known for her role as a key organizer of Yukon’s branch of Cystic Fibrosis Canada, where she helped raise more money for research per capita than any other CFC community group in Western Canada.
