Citizens are involved in decisions that affect them; act as stewards of the environment; and are connected and responsible to each other, the environment, and their government.

We are working towards

• More active and engaged community associations
• Increasing City partnerships
• Increasing volunteerism
• More opportunities for public participation
• Greater engagement with hard-to-reach audiences

Engaging the community is part of the City’s democratic responsibility; fosters a greater sense of community and pride; and leads to better and more strongly supported civic decisions. A connected, active community strengthens the social safety net and makes people happier.

Our Progress

The City collaborated with Government to examine how it engages with the public in decision-making. The City will use feedback obtained in this process to make changes to how it communicates and interacts with the public. Read the Yukon government report for more information.
