As we continue to see increased interest in the Arctic, our approach to protecting the North must be flexible, coordinated and forward-looking. Most importantly, it needs to be guided by Northern voices.
The Yukon’s approach
Arctic security and protecting the North remains a priority for our government. We want to support a strong, stable North today and for generations to come. In today’s global context, we are committed to:
- protecting Canada’s Arctic;
- strengthening Northern communities; and
- upholding Canada’s sovereignty.
Our approach is grounded by close collaboration with:
- federal;
- territorial;
- Indigenous; and
- international partners.
