  • Today, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, announced $250,000 in funding for the Assembly of First Nations Yukon Region through the Climate Action Fund.
  • I'm inspired to see the Assembly of First Nations raising awareness of climate change and empowering communities and youth to take climate action.
