Dear Commissioners:
Re: Electoral District Boundaries Commission 2024 Interim Report
As a Citizen of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation, I am writing to express my opposition to the proposal of the Electoral District Boundaries Commission to merge the Vuntut Gwitchin and Klondike electoral districts.
The special circumstances of the Vuntut Gwitchin district remain unique within the Yukon and continue to support its existence. The Commission’s proposal would result in Vuntut Gwitchin electors losing an effective voice and representation within the legislature of Yukon. Rural, northern and First Nations voices should not be diminished because of urban population growth in Whitehorse.
I urge you to maintain the Vuntut Gwitchin electoral district.
