Yukon’s Energy Future…Let’s Talk!

Community Involvement

Jan 25, 2011  Comment

What do you think it will it take to make sure we have enough clean, reliable and affordable energy to meet Yukon's electricity needs well into the future? Since we're all stakeholders in Yukon's energy future, let's find the answers together.

We are hosting workshops in three Yukon rural communities and an energy charrette in Whitehorse. You're invited to take part in one or more of these events. It's a chance for us to come together so that we can all be informed about the issues, learn from a wide range of perspectives, and work together on energy planning. It's an empowering process that's all about finding collaborative solutions. The recommendations from the charrette and community workshops will be used as guiding principles for Yukon Energy as we make energy related decisions into the future.

Note that in addition to the evening public gatherings, there will be daytime sessions on March 7th, 8th, and 9th that will bring together invited Yukon stakeholders and experts, some from Outside and some from here in the territory. Each evening you will have a chance to meet the experts, see what was discussed that day, and add to the conversation. Watch for more details in the days ahead.
