WHITEHORSE – Yukoners love the land. We get out and enjoy nature in a respectful and sustainable manner.
This is why a Yukon Party government will bring a collaboratively managed, science-based approach to fish and wildlife management in the territory. One that respects the Umbrella Final Agreement (UFA) and the territory’s important culture of hunting, fishing, and trapping.
It will also strengthen Yukoners’ ability to enjoy the territory’s unparalleled wilderness opportunities.
“The current government has eroded trust with the hunting, angling, and trapping community and undermined confidence in the Yukon’s fish and wildlife management system,” said Kluane Candidate Wade Istchenko. “A Yukon Party government will work with Yukon First Nations and the hunting and angling community to improve stewardship, provide greater certainty and clarity and uphold Yukoners’ values surrounding our world-class wilderness.”
In order to fulfill Yukoners’ shared goal of fostering an environment in which citizens can continue to enjoy their culture of hunting, fishing, and trapping, while maintaining healthy and abundant fish and wildlife populations, a Yukon Party government will work in partnership to:
“Our territory’s First Nations and our hunters, anglers and trappers offer valuable, first-hand experience of the land,” added Istchenko. “They have a deep appreciation and respect for conservation and are responsible environmental stewards. That is why a Yukon Party government will work with them as true partners for the benefit of future generations.”
The 2021 territorial general election will be held on Monday, April 12. Advanced polling dates have been announced for Sunday, April 4 and Monday, April 5, 2021.
