a better yukon:
Yukon government's social inclusion & poverty reduction strategy

Current hot topics include Vancouver’s homeless handling the heat—what kind of assistance are they given? What could the Yukon learn from them to handle our homeless and the cold? A new approach to housing the homeless—Victoria municipalities buy up bankrupt hotels and use them to house those living on the streets. It’s an innovative approach—what’s your take on it? The heart-wrenching tale of those who live beyond the margins of inclusion—‘’Nobody deserves to die alone’’ explores the importance of inclusion in society. There are many more and ever-changing critical issues to discuss. Post your stories and opinions and join the conversation. Inclusion is everyone’s responsibility.
