➡️ Tip: Signing up for Direct Deposit is the easiest way to avoid any delays.

✔️ Non-local: Cheques will be held for a week. If the strike goes on longer, you can sign up for direct deposit or wait for your payment until the strike is over.

To observe the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, our office will be closed on Tuesday, September 30, 2025. This day provides an opportunity to reflect and take time to honour Survivors of residential schools, their families and the children who never made it home.

In health and safety, we encourage all workers and employers to create workplaces where every person is valued, supported and able to thrive. That same principle applies here: reconciliation means fostering environments where Indigenous voices are heard, histories are acknowledged, and healing can take place.

We encourage our team and community to take this time to attend local events, wear an orange shirt, learn more about the history of residential schools or take time to reflect on what reconciliation means in your life and work.

🍎 Back to school means busier roads! As school starts again in Yukon communities, it’s a good reminder for all of us. Whether you’re behind the wheel, on a worksite, or walking to work, stay alert and put safety first.

🚸 Slow down in school zones – kids can be unpredictable.
🚲 Watch for cyclists – Yukoners are taking advantage of the good weather and cycling to school and work.
🚍 Watch for school buses – stop when the lights are flashing.
📵 Avoid distractions – phones down, eyes on the road.
⌚ Plan extra time – heavier traffic means more stress if you’re rushing.
