To submit written responses, share additional input or ask questions about the École Whitehorse Elementary School replacement project, email [email protected].
Yukoners have until April 26, 2026, to provide feedback.
We want to hear from Yukoners about their preferred location for the new École Whitehorse Elementary School. As part of this, we want to understand your priorities for the new location.
In December 2025, the Government of Yukon announced it would look for a new location for the future École Whitehorse Elementary School. The project will no longer move forward at the Takhini Educational Land Reserve.
With 3 possible locations identified, your feedback will help inform the Yukon government’s decision on where the new school will be built.
Your ideas, input, concerns and needs will help guide this decision for the school community and the broader Whitehorse area.
The Whitehorse schools replacement ranking, released in 2022, identifies Whitehorse schools to be renovated or replaced in the coming years. The ranking is based on a set of weighted criteria, including:
- building condition;
- enrolment demand;
- utilization; and
- support for an adaptive, modern and integrated learning environment.
In October 2023, we released the What We Heard report: Whitehorse Schools Capital Planning public engagement following a public engagement that ran from March 2023 to May 2023.
We’ll post the results of this engagement on yukon.ca/engagements.
We value Yukoners' input in the decision-making process. If there’s something we could do to improve the engagement process, share your thoughts by emailing [email protected].
