Sponsorship
Yukon Energy participates actively in community events and sets aside some of our profits to assist community groups throughout the territory.
We use the following criteria when assessing possible sponsorship opportunities:
- Does this event/activity align with Yukon Energy’s strategic priorities and values, specifically with regard to sustainability, GHG reductions, and the development of healthy communities?
- Are there opportunities for Yukon Energy staff to be involved in this event/activity in some way?
- Will Yukon Energy receive sufficient public recognition as a result of the sponsorship?
Our sponsorship program encompasses four categories, with equal funding going to each category:
- Arts/Culture/Tourism
- Sports/Recreation
- Health/Social Services/Education
- Sustainable Development
- First Nations Programming
If you are a community group looking for more information or to submit your funding request, please contact Lisa Wiklund at lisa.wiklund@yec.yk.ca or 867-393-5398.
