Yukon premier touts 'improved fiscal picture' in territory with budget update

What exactly are they taking credit for here? inaccurate financial forecasting, a mild fire season in Yukon? I don’t think they’ve done anything directly with their actions to save money or make the deficit better. Had we had an average fire season this year that deficit would have been probably worse than forecast.

Whitehorse hotels

Dear Yukoners, please save me from staying at the best western again. What hotel(s) do you recommend? We come up from Juneau at least once a year, now with twin infants. Price is not an issue as long as it’s clean. Thanks in advance.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation events in the Yukon, is it slowing down?

I wasn't going to post something until I saw this headline from CBC North:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/dozens-march-in-whitehorse-to-honour-missing-and-murdered-indigenous-women-9.7367924

"Dozens march in Whitehorse to honour missing and murdered Indigenous women"

Just dozens?

I feel like these events used to get hundreds or thousands of people.

I saw fewer orange shirts this year, fewer people out and it feels like even the routine "government department posts a picture for social media" type stuff has slowed down.

Does anyone else feel the same, that Sept 30 was noticeably smaller this year in the Yukon?
